Ten Questions and Answers 
1. If you are raising berries, why not grow some Cherry rhubarb for fall, 
winter and spring income to help out during the season when the berries are pro¬ 
ducing no revenue; or diversify by adding asparagus to your line? 
Many of the larger berry growers are finding the above a profitable practice. 
They not only look at it from the standpoint of income through the entire year, 
which is certainly very desirable, but they know that when a field of berries 
becomes old that it should not be put back into berries at once; and have found 
that rhubarb follows berries successfully and that the land can again be set to 
berries after a few years in rhubarb. 
POULTRYMEN 
2. Why not plant some Cherry rhubarb for winter income and use the leaves 
for green feed for your flock? It is a practical, profitable combination; the hens 
furnish the fertilizer for the rhubarb and the rhubarb leaves furnish green feed 
for the hens and the stems make a very paying crop. 
Mr. Van Decar, of Escondido, Calif., is very much pleased with this combina¬ 
tion of poultry and rhubarb. He says that, after once acquiring the taste for 
rhubarb leaves, his flock likes them very much, and that the leaves have prooved an 
excellent green feed and have kept his hens in a very healthy condition. Mrs. Knott 
has fifty canary birds to which she feeds rhubarb leaves regularly. 
ORCHARDISTS 
3. If you have, or are planting, a young orchard why not interplant it to 
berries or Cherry rhubarb and make it pay while coming into bearing? Both last 
about as long as you should have anything between the trees and both should be 
manured enough so that your land will be richer when they are taken out. 
Some of the finest orchards in California were financed during the year until 
they came in production by growing berries between the rows. We have berries 
growing now between the rows on 20 acres of fine Valencia oranges. 
THE RETIRED MAH PLANTS BERRIES 
4. If you have retired, but find time is dragging a little, why not occupy part 
of your time in the pleasant work of growing some berries, rhubarb and asparagus? 
It is pleasant, interesting work and profitable, too. 
Mr. H. D. Price, a retired banker of Van Nuys, California, says that he started 
raising berries four years ago when he ordered 160 Youngberry plants from us 
which produced a wonderful crop the following year, but that the berry was nearly 
unknown at that time which made it necessary for him to sell a large part of that 
first crop through the stores. The next year he had twice as many in bearing and 
people came to the house for nearly all of them; while this past summer, with 
more than three times as many berries, he sold all at the house. 
FOR THE TOWN LOT 
5. If you live in town and have a little spare room in your yard or a vacant 
lot why not grow an assortment of fine berries, rhubarb and asparagus? They will 
make a delightful addition to your menu throughout the entire year, either fresh, 
canned, or in jams and jellies. And remember, for pies Youngberries simply beat 
the world. 
Mr. H. I>. Sanders, of Burbank, California, who is eighty-two years old and a 
retired school teacher, planted a large lot, which had been lying idle, to berries and 
has found the work healthful, interesting, and profitable. 
We have many letters in our files from folks, old in years but young in spirit, 
who are passing many interesting and profitable hours in their berry gardens.
