—Which one Interests you? 
FOR THE CHILDREN’S SPENDING MONEY 
6. If you have children growing up who need spending money, and perhaps 
find it hard to get jobs for their spare time, why not set aside a plot of ground 
and encourage them to plant it to a profitable crop like Youngberries or Cherry 
rhubarb or both? With care the income should be considerable and the experience 
derived from growing and marketing them may be worth even more than the 
money earned. 
Two or three years ago a dairy farmer in this district loaned his son, a high 
school hoy, a little plot of ground out between the house and barn which had 
always been hard to care for because it was separated from any of the fields. The 
boy planted it to Youngberries and this summer sold as high as $15.00 per day 
from this little patch which he had grown during spare hours. 
VACANT LOT INCOME 
% 7. If you have some vacant land, with water available, which has not been 
bringing in a satisfactory income, why not order some fine plants and set it out 
to crops that WILL, pay? 
A year ago this past spring, Mr. H. M. Aldrich, a State Traffic Officer of Costa 
Mesa, Calif., paid us $2.50 for twenty-five Youngberry plants, which he planted in 
his back yard. And the past summer, Mr. Aldrich says, the family had berries 
each morning for breakfast, and that Mrs. Aldrich made big cobblers of tlier* 
regularly, and that there were still so many berries that he had to sell $40.00 
worth to a nearby grocery. 
PROFITABLE SHARES FARMING 
8. If you are having your land farmed on the shares, and your share has been 
running smaller than you like, why not suggest berries and rhubarb to your ten¬ 
ant? The income is very much higher than for many crops. 
The eight-acre tract pictured at left below had not produced a profitable crop 
for years, but when set out to berries produced a gross income of $5000.00 the next 
year after planting. How much would your idle acres produce? 
MAKE UNSIGHTLY FENCES FAY 
9. If you have an unsightly fence in your yard or along your orchard or farm, 
why not cover it with berries and make it beautiful, useful, and profitable? 
Two years ago W. E. Thompson, of Stanton, Calif., paid us 45 cents for three 
Himalaya blackberry plants which he set out twelve feet apart along one of his 
chicken fences. These three plants now cover more than fifty feet of fence, furnish 
windbreak and shade for his chickens, and from them Mr. Thompson has sold as 
much as $15 worth of berries in a single season. 
STABILIZE YOUR MARKET 
10. If you are a good farmer and live fairly close to markets but are not 
satisfied with the prices you have been getting for your crops why not turn to 
higher priced crops that are a little more permanent—crops that everybody cannot 
jump into one year and out the next; keeping the market demoralized; why not 
consider berries, rhubarb, or asparagus? 
Mr. Morris, of Cypress, Calif., came to us several years ago and said that he 
had twenty acres of good land on a good highway, but that the crops he had been 
growing were not paying. At our suggestion he planted five acres to berries that 
spring and he has been adding several acres each year since, until now nearly his 
whole place is in berries. He now has a nice neat sales room and packing shed on 
the highway where the customers come to buy and we hear no more about the 
crops not paying.
