BUBACH. 
LATE. Pistillate. A market commander, repu- 
tation winner and money getter. Tiiere is scarcely 
a strawberry grower in the country that hasn't fruit- 
ed Bubach. and no one should be without them. They 
are very prolific of such big meaty fellows, bright red 
color, with a rich, tempting look that almost over- 
powers the customer and the price is never argued. 
The plants are large, with dark green foliage with a 
waxy appearance. There is a pleasure and profit in 
growing big showy berries, for it makes it so easy to 
get new customers, and still easier to hold ail the 
old ones. People always look upon such growers with 
admiration, and tell others about your big berries 
until your name is a household word in the com- 
munity. Eighteenth year of selection and restric- 
tion. 
sleek and well curried horse, dressed in neat, 
clean harness and driven bv a neatly dressed 
and courteous gentleman. Fill the wagon with 
two grades of berries, fancy and medium; call 
at each house and sell at retail by the quart 
or any amount the customers want. While 
delivering today take orders for tomorrow; a 
big retail business will soon be built up in 
this manner. Your neatness will attract at- 
tention and your name become a household 
word. The children will watch for the berry 
man and you will hear them call to mamma, 
"Hurry up, here comes the man with the big 
strawberries." Fine hotels are also a good 
place to sell fancy berries; they will always 
pay an extra high price to get soinething 
above the ordinary to tickle the palates of 
their guests, and it makes a good advertise- 
ment for the hotel. Wealthy people who live 
at expensive hotels and cafes do not ask the 
price; what they are after is the best the mar- 
ket affords, and this will make your berries 
popular with a wealthy class of people. Thore 
is a world of pleasure in growing fancy ber- 
ries, and selling under these methods makes 
large profits, which adds still more to the 
pleasure. Most people like to trade with those 
who are successful, and the more successful a 
man is the better they like to buy of him. 
Lag-behinds and drones cannot expect to 
make a success at anything; they must be con- 
tent with whatever the up-to-date hustler 
leaves behind, and they have to accept just 
whatever people offer for their products. They 
SEAPOBD. 
LATE. Pistillate, that is gaining In reputation 
every year. The berries are a very darlc red, corru- 
gated Just enough to show up attractively, and the 
flavor is unsurpassed. It is very prolific and the 
berries are a good size. The picture was made from 
a photograph, and shows it to perfection except the 
dark red color. 
The foliage is large, dark green with broad leaves 
and upright in growth. It has a long season of 
ripening and the berries hold out In Quality to the 
last picking. Tills is the ninth year of selection, 
which makes it good enough to recommend to our 
friends. 
drive up in front of a grocery and yell to the 
proprietor, "Do you want any berries?" and 
when the merchant comes out, asks, "What 
will you give for them?" A small, trifling 
sum is offered and accepted and the grocery- 
man takes the poor berries out and sets them 
inside the store while the lazy grower sits in 
his wagon. What chance has a man like this 
where there are up-to-date growers? Why, 
bless your soul, iny progressive friend, you 
have everything your own way. There is the 
best opening in fancy strawberry growing of 
any business we know of; it requires but little 
capital and there is scarcely any competition. 
There never has been and probably never will 
be enough fancy berries to supply the demand. 
No one ever heard of a man getting rich work- 
ing for other people. Do not be a wage earner 
all your life; lease a piece of land for a term 
of years, with the privilege of buying it, and 
pitch in with a determination to be a leader 
on the market; do not be satisfied with any- 
thing but the best. It is better to start right 
with little money and a lot of enthusiasm than 
it is to start wrong with a lot of money and 
no enthusiasm. Make your word good wher- 
ever you deal and the banks will soon learn 
that you mean business and will stand by you. 
Your reputation will spread like the wind. 
In a few years the piece of leased land will be 
your own, worth double what it was when 
leased. Then you will be on Easy street.
