BERRY GARDEk 



1. Admire their beauty and color. Ever 

 notice how cereal and other ads in 

 magazines are dressed up with berry 

 color? 



2. Enjoy the wonderful flavor and aroma 

 — fresh from the vines. A taste treat for 

 all the family. 



3. Have your fill of strawberry shortcake 



6. 



— ranks with apple pie as a national 

 favorite dessert. 



Frozen berries — for that "fresh flavor" 

 the year round. 



Strawberry preserves and jam — you'll 

 enjoy these with just one sweet tooth. 

 Vitamin C — Strawberries are unsur- 

 passed as a source of vitamin C. Did 

 you ever take such good medicine? 



It's Easy! Beginners can do it successfully and profitably. 



It's Quick! No other fruit crop bears so quickly — 12 to 13 months with standard kinds; 



8 to 10 weeks with everbearers. 



It Pay's! Surplus berries from your strawberry garden are easily sold at profitable prices. 



What have you paid for good strawberries in recent years — 30, 40, 50, 60 cents per 

 quart? 



Why not sell some for that? The pay is good. A small berry garden can supply all 

 your family can use and enough to provide some important extra money besides. You 

 can do it, or the old folks, or the young folks. The work is light and healthful — the 

 rewards bright and helpful. 



OTHERS HAVE! 



Suffolk Co., Mass., April 19, 1954. 

 "Several years ago we bought 

 your Family Garden Collection, 

 It was a great success. The next 

 year we picked from one to three 

 quarts every day for about five 

 and one-half weeks. We picked 

 them early in the morning to eat 

 on cereal, and we ate them in every other possible 

 form. We had never before fully appreciated the 

 difference between a berry picked early enough 

 to stand shipment and marketing and a berry 

 picked dead ripe to be eaten within the hour." 

 Lawrence B. Barnard. 



Franklin Co., Pa., March 23, 1954. "The 100 

 plants I bought in 1952 gave me lots of berries 

 last year for my neighbors and friends and I 

 preserved 35 large size jars. They were delicious 

 large berries." Mrs. Robert B.Klock. 



Hamilton Co., Ohio, Feb. 12, 1954. 

 "Last year I picked on one day 

 five 24 quart crates that I sold to 

 a fruit stand for S60.00. Can you 



beat that: 



Frederick Swing 



Delaware Co., N.Y., Dec. 29, 1953. "We ordered 

 same berry plants from you in 1952 and they were 

 so wonderful this year that we want to put in 

 another bed next spring. We picked over 200 

 quarts from our collection of 200 plants. You 

 surely can be proud of your plants." 



Oliver D. Brown. 

 Allegheny Co., Pa., Feb. 18, 1954. "We have 

 been buying berry plants from you for 10 years 

 or more now. They do very well in our home 

 garden. I get enough to make a quantity of 

 preserves and shortcake, served to our many 

 friends with loads of berries on the shortcake. 

 Your plants are 100% with us." E.G. Rebel.
