A MONTHLY MAGAZINE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS 
OF STRAWBERRY PRC DUCTION IN ALL ITS BRANCHES 
Established January, 1906 THREE RIVERS, MICH. 
$1 .00 per Annum 
WHEN one year ago The Strawberry 
magazine was begun, the publishers 
were confident that it would meet the 
approval and support of many strawberry pro- 
ducers, but we did not dream that it would meet 
the instant and universally cordial reception that 
has been given it. 
Yet what has been done in this direction only 
accords with the idea then expressed that the 
world demanded more information, instruction 
and advice on strawberry production than could 
be found in any body of writings on this great 
and growing industry. 
That the world thus has taken advantage of 
the opportunity presented is most gratifying — to 
the publishers on the one hand; on the other 
haind, as showing the eager interest of the peo- 
ple to learn the better way to grow strawberries — 
the way to win success and to find deep and 
lasting enjoyment in the work. 
Subscriptions have poured in by the thousands. 
They have come from every state in the Union, 
from every province of Canada, from Australasia, 
from the continent of Europe. And it is doubt- 
ful if any other publication of its age has so 
large a number of voluntary paid-in-advance 
subscribers — men and women who subscribed 
because they actually wanted the magazine — as 
has The Strawberry on its lists. 
You will remember that we offered to send 
the money back to any subscriber who, after 
reading the magazine, thought he was not get- 
ting his dollar's worth. We are proud to say 
that of all the thousands who are subscribers not 
one ever has asked for his money back, and we 
are more than proud of the innumerable letters 
that have come to us saying that a single issue 
of the magazine has been worth ten times or 
twenty-five times the cost of a year's subscription. 
So much for the past. The future is promis- 
ing of even better and greater things. Each 
month's issue has seen improvement over the 
preceding issue, and now we feel that we are 
only fairly begun. If 1906 has been of such 
liigh value to our friends. The Strawberry for 
1907 will be infinitely more so. Subscribers 
write, "Never were questions answered so clear- 
ly and so fully." Others in great numbers have 
iilly." Others in great numbers have doesn't suit. 
The Kellogg Publishing Co 
written, "If only I had known of The Straw- 
berry before — it would have saved me some 
costly mistakes." All admit that questions 
could not be answered by letter as they are an- 
swered in The Strawberry, and in its pages one 
answer serves thousands of inquirers. The Cor- 
respondence School Department has been pro- 
nounced the most unique and useful feature 
appearing in any journal in the world. It was 
originated and developed by us, and we are go- 
ing to make it of still greater value in the years 
to come. We wish, if you are not already en- 
rolled upon our lists, that you would send us 
your subscription at once, confident that the 
gain will be yours. Read what a few of our 
subscribers say: 
A. L. Pnlliser. Johnstown, Pa. "I have I'oad volumes 
on strawberry eultnre, hut found none to equal The Straw- 
berry. In niy estimation it is a self-instructor to those 
who will stiuiy it . ' ' 
.Toseph Mills, Gallon, Ohio. "I have The Strawberry 
and read it carefully. The time is too louj^ to wait for the 
next number. It is fine and full of meauini;. ' " 
J. M. Clark, Kingsburg, Calif. "I consider my sitb- 
scription to The Strawberry by far the best investment I 
ever made, and I would not part with a single number of it 
for $1 a copy. ' ' 
William Scott. Early, Iowa. "I got the worth of my 
dollar in the March number. I am going to be guided by 
The Strawberry. ' ' 
J. .7. llobson, Bellefontaine, Ohio. "I would not take 
$2."> for the information I have received from tlio two 
copies of The Strawberry already in hand. ' ' 
C. R. Steer, St. John's, N. P. "I would not begrudge 
3^10 for the instruction already given in The Strawberry. " 
G. W. Puley, Smithland, Ky. ' 'The Strawberry hasn't 
any w tirlliless reading in its columns. All of it is the very 
essenee nf the practical. It was born fully developed and 
is destined to do good. " 
These are only a few of the many hundreds 
of such letters, all expressing pleasure in and 
approval of The Strawberry. You will feel the 
same way about it if you will give it a trial.
