A Berry Garden For Every Home 
Thc> liiKKc'st. pa.vin.n invest- 
ment you can mnl<e is to buy one 
or more of our Special Home 
Garrton Collet'tions shown and 
dPKOril)ed on page 7. If you 
grow lierrieK for market you 
should (U'der some of these spe- 
cial collecti(ms. and plant them 
near the house, where you can 
run out and gather the fresh 
fruit in a few moments. The 
commercial field is u.sually lo- 
cated (|Uite a distance from the 
hoiise. and you do without the 
fruit a great deal more than you 
would if you had a small lu-rry 
rarden near the house. 
To fhoso who have been in 
the habit of huyin,£r their supply 
of berries, we wish to say .vou 
are makin.g a big mistake. Wo 
l<now you are paying big prices 
for them and often must accept 
inferior and stale fruit. 
Perhaps you feel that you cannot afford to go to the expense of buying one of the 
collections. The money vou spend will not be an expense but rather an investment. 
As you will get all the delicious fruit you can use at home, the plants will more than 
pay for themselves with the surplus fruit you can sell to your neighbors at fancy prices. 
We know there are thousands of families in this country today, who have never 
had the pleasure of eating freshly picked berries. There is a mighty big difference "in 
berries that are freshly gathered from the vines, and those that are offered for sale 
at the markets, which have been stored for several weeks or shipped several hundred 
miles or more. 
You will never know the full amount of pleasure and health that can be derived 
from the big, luscious berries that our garden collections will produce, until you get 
first hand knowledge by growing them yourself. 
It is more important this year than ever before to plant at least enough berries for 
home consumption. The unusual demand for fruit and fruit juices has caused the 
large consumers to contract their re<iuirements several years in advance and 'there will 
be a shortage of berries in the years to come. This will cause high prices on local 
markets. 
It is needless extravagance for you to pay forty or lifty cents per quart for your 
berries when you can grow them in your own gardens for five or six cents per quart. 
Aside from an economic standpoint there are numerous reasons why you should 
grow berries, at least for home use. Can you imagine anything better than a generous 
supply of fresh fruit, grown by yourself, in such quantities that every member of the 
family can indulge to their hearts content. Berries can be served so many different ways 
that you can eat them nearly every day, winter and summer and never tire of them. 
We know that when you once know the joy and pleasure to be derived from your 
berry garden, you will never be without it. We want you to consider the above facts 
carefully, and make out your order and send it to us immediately, before you forget 
about it. The plants will be reserved and shipiied at proiur planting time, together 
with instructions for planting and care. A generous supply of berries for next season 
will be your reward. 
846 QUARTS FROM THIS SMALL PATCH OF OUR 
STRAWBERRIES. 
"I am enclosing photograph of my patch of strawberries grown 
from the plants purchased of you in sprinp of 1920. Althou^rh the 
season was very hot and dry the 1000 plants yielded 846 quarts 
of fine berries. Must fay that the plantj> were the nicest we ever 
planted and the berries were large and extra fine quality. We 
picked 176 quarts at one picking. Carl H. Schmidt, Wisconsin."
