SMALL FRUITS AND HOW HE GROWS THEM 
fruit garden and find an abundance of aspara- 
gus for April and May, delicious strawberries 
for the next month, and then raspberries, 
blackberries and grapes in succession until 
frost comes, giving a feast all summer long, 
with canned fruits in abundance for the long 
winter months, the whole question of what to 
get for a meal would be solved. 
The way to the husband's affections and 
that of the children is right down through the 
stomach. Fruit eaters are always good 
natured. A fruit diet during hot weather 
means a clear head and strong body. The rich 
fruit acids ccol the blood and are the great 
panacea for aches, pains and the "blues." It 
saves "family jars," doctors' bills, and enables 
a person to accomplish more work. It will 
keep the boys and girls contented at home. 
They see all these nice things in the town 
and forget they are the products of the farm. 
Nothing adds so much to home life as a fruit 
garden. 
LOVETT. 
A small plat of eround, a few strong fruit- 
ing Pedigree Plants of early medium and late 
varieties, a little delightful recreation in the 
cool of the evening in caring for them and the 
pleasui'e is yours. To enjoj' them you must see 
them growing. To see the great beauties 
begin to turn red and peep out from under the 
foliage so coquettishly is a great treat. 
" Buy them cheaper? " Let us see about 
that. You furnish the land and ii.anure and I 
can buy the plants and do all the work, paying 
regular wages and have all the berries ready 
to pick for much less than one cent per quart 
throughout the season. They will be at your 
door. No going without because you have no 
time to go after them. No expense for boxes 
except what the children need to pick and take 
to town to buy their school books with. 
A berry garden will furnish the family more 
real luxury than you can buy with several 
acres of wheat. Give it a start this spring. 
Farm for sale. The way to sell a farm is 
to make the would be purchaser feel that he 
would like to own it. A display of fruits will 
contribute more to that end than any other 
one thing. The cost is trifling compared with 
inducements to purchase. 
BEAUTIFUL BERRIES. 
The most beautiful berries are true to type, 
above medium and all of the same size. That 
is the advantage of Pedigree Plants. Their 
vigor enables them to bring their berries to the 
full size of their variety. Some excessively 
large berries are needed for advertising pur- 
poses to get people to talking about you, but 
the average family prefer above medium in 
size, good texture, rich flavor, hence the suc- 
cessful grower plants most largely of the medi- 
um sized varieties, and then gives careful 
culture to make them all grow large. These 
are the money-makers. 
HOW TO SELL FRUIT. 
I never give the market a thought until the 
berries are ready. I prefer to spend my time 
growing such a grade of fruit that customers 
will wait for my coming. I don't have to run 
around and drum up trade. 
If your fruit is right you will not have 
any trouble in arranging with the leading 
dealer to handle all you have. Get a neat cir- 
cular letter printed describing your berries and 
have one left with every family who is a cus- 
tomer of your dealer, telling them where they 
can be had. Have notices put in the papers to 
the same etfect. Our " squib" is generally one 
line: "To be happy eat Kellogg's berries," 
sold at " Wilson's." Put this in the jiaper in a 
dozen places. Of course it costs a little, but it 
sets everybody to thinking of you, and the 
extra price and ready sale meets all the bills, 
and you are ahead in the end. The mere fact 
that this win bring the dealer a large amount 
of extra trade will make him glad to pay you 
all there is in it to secure the agency. 
Pack your fruit honestly in a nice clean 
box and don't forget to put some big berries in
