BERRY PICKERS' TICKET. 
This is the most satisfactory waj' for both 
berry picker and grower to keep tally of the 
number of quarts picked by each one every 
day. It is almost impossible to make a mis- 
take, as each picker has his ticket suspended 
by a string to a button or around the neck, 
and the one in charge of the pickers carries a 
punch and is the only one allowed to accept 
berries from them. He gives credit on their 
ticket by punching out the number of quarts 
received. They are (hon taken to the packing 
house by a man employed for that purpose, 
who also keeps the pickers supplied with emp- 
ties, thus avoiding any confusion. Each ticket 
has 100 quarts and when it is all canceled the 
foreman gives the picker a new one. These 
tickets are retained by the pickers mitil pav 
day, then they are presented to the grower 
AROMA. 
LATE. Bi-sexual, and one of the very best pol- 
lenizers for late varieties. Read the description 
caiefuily and see if it don't suit you. It is an Ideal 
berry, quite iarge, roundish, very true and even, 
bright glossy color, wUh a flavor that always whets 
the appetite to call for more. It is a good shipper 
and it always sells at sight. 
The foliage has such a bright clean color that It 
attracts the visitor's attention. The plants stool 
close to the ground, having the spreading habit, which 
lets the sunbeams play upon the big crowns, keeping 
them vigorous so every berry Is brought to perfection. 
There is always a great demand for big late berries 
at high prices, and right here is where the profits 
come in. Every commercial grower and family garden 
should have the earliest and the latest varieties, keep- 
ing the trade and table supplied continually. Don't 
be afraid to set Aroma lai'gely: it succeeds every- 
where. It has always been dilhcult for us to grow 
enough plants to fill our orders, and so our acreage 
of this variety has been increased in order to be pre- 
pared for the rush next spring. This is the thirteenth 
year of selection, and It is now good enough for 
anybody. 
for payment. If one cent a quart is paid each 
canceled ticket is worth $i.oo, so there is no 
figuring to do, simply count the tickets each 
picker presents and the number represents 
the same number of dollars. These tickets are 
kept by the growers as a receipt and at the 
end of each season he can tell in a few minutes 
just how many quarts each one picked; also 
how many quarts was picked on his farm and 
the cost of picking through the entire season. 
The expense of foreman and other help is kept 
in a book. Any printer can make these tickets 
for you, printing your own name on them; 
the cost is about $2.00 per thousand. The 
mistakes and time saved by their use will more 
than pay their cost. 
MANAGING BERRY PICKERS. 
In managing a force of berry pickers it is 
just as essential to have a perfect system as it 
is in managing a lot of employees in a factory 
or anywhere else. We find that good, careful 
women make the best pickers; they are much 
neater about their work than men or boys and 
are easier handled. Have a thorough under- 
standing with each one, stating just what is 
expected of her and what she can expect if the 
rules are not closely followed out. This can 
be done in a kind way and in the end be help-
