ALLEN’S BOOK OF BERRIES—1921 
Home Strawberry Gardens 
The very reasons we have outlined above, indicating high prices 
for strawberries, make it important to have a strawberry bed in 
every home garden. 
Nearly Everybody Likes Strawberries. The best straw¬ 
berries are those that are grown in your own garden and picked 
fresh from the vines as you use them. They are delicious, and 
they joy of having nice fresh berries for your own table fully re¬ 
pays for the small effort required to plant and grow them. By 
using the ever-bearer, Progressive, the berry season can be ex¬ 
tended thru the summer and early fall, until freezing weather. 
Your Grocery Bill w«ll be greatly lessened by having your 
own strawberry garden. Not on y do you save the cost of the 
berries you usually buy, but you have more del'cious fruit than 
you ever buy, especially at the high prices which are bound to 
prevail for berries the next year or two. You also save the cost 
of other things you don’t want, or need, now that you have plenty 
of strawberries. 
Preserved Strawberries are the most delicious of all the sweet 
foods we eat in winter. When you have them to buy at 20 cents 
or 30 cents per quart, you are not likely to preserve as many as 
you need. Have your own strawberry garden and there will be 
plenty for daily use on the table and for preserving also. 
With cheaper sugar you will be anxious to use more of these 
healthy, delicious berries and to “do up” more for winter use. 
Extra Money. At the high prices which are sure to prevail 
a little extra money can be had very easily from the home straw¬ 
berry garden. 500 to 1,000 plants will produce sufficient berries 
for a large family and leave a good many to sell. There will be 
a market for them. If you have room for them in your garden 
try a good big plot. It will pay.
