Strawberries for Big Quick Profits 
UarvestinE a Big Crop of Gibson. 
Strawberries are easily grown and will return you a profit quicker than any otlier 
crop you can grow. 
It requires but very little training or capital to start you in the big paying business 
of fruit-growing. 
People in your section have made big money growing Strawberries. 
People with land like yours and the same amount of land have made good incomes 
growing fruit. 
People with the same training and ability as yours have paid for their farms and 
become rich growing Strawberries. 
You can make big money groiwlng Strawberries on that land of yours. Order your 
plants today. 
IPirst. Don't lay this catalog aside before making out your order for plants. Remem- 
ber that a "put-off" never makes anything. Mail your order today and the plants will 
be reserved for you. If you are growing strawberries for market you now have a greater 
opportunity than ever before to make big money. Strawberries are netting many of our 
customers $1,000.00 per acre. Our big, healthy plants will do the same for you. 
The present high cost of strawberries, with prospects for still higher prices, makes it 
decidedly to your best interests to erow your own strawberries, at least for vour own 
use. A few hundred plants will give you your own strawberries free, as you can sell 
enough to pay for the plants and care. 
Second. When you buy plants do not purchase the cheapest plants you can get. 
Buying plants because they are cheap is poor economy, as it requires more lime and 
labor to make a poor plant grow, than it does to make a good plant grow. Remember 
that results are what count in fruit growing. The first cost of the plants is a very 
small item. The plants you set are the machines that produce your berries. If the 
plants are small and weak your berry crop will be small. Our big, healthy plants are 
the kind you want; they insure your crop. 
To avoid disappointment we urge you to order your plants without delay. The high 
prices paid for berries for the past two seasons have created a demand for plants that 
cannot be met. We have a fine supply of plants, and visitors to our farms say they are 
the best plants in the country. We have them on new ground and if you could see 
them, you would give us your order at once. We have booked more orders for Straw- 
berry plants than ever before, as growers are ordering in large quantities. High prices 
for berries are bound to continue as the demand for fruit and fruit juices is growing 
every year. If you do not plant this season you will regret it when your neighbor is 
making big money next season.
