Proven Berry Plants r r KNOTT’S BERRY PLACE r r Trees and Vines 
roots, often as large as a man’s arm, 
run deep into the soil, and as they are 
very soft and spongy, decay in a few 
months after taking the rhubarb out, 
leaving channels into the soil to carry 
water and air down to the subsoil; all of 
which is good for the orchard. Also 
with rhubarb tons and tons of leaves 
are left in the field to be worked into 
the top soil at each cutting, and as 
there are from three to four cuttings 
each season, the vegetable matter that 
is put back into the soil in this way is 
no small item. 
Either will make you a good profitable 
inter-crop, and a combination of both 
berries and rhubarb will make you a 
year-round income. Think it over, and 
then come and see us or write us about 
your problem. 
Profitable Mastodon Berry 
Mr. Al. Menard, of El Segunda, 
Calif., planted 500 of our Mastodon 
Everbearing Plants in February, 
1933, and during that same de¬ 
pression year sold from this small 
planting $122.00. He used overhead 
irrigation. His soil is very sandy 
but he used plenty of water and 
300 pounds of fish meal applied at 
three applications. He had berries 
until Christmas and sold all of 
them at retail. This past spring 
he planted an acre of Mastodon, 
an acre of Klondyke and an acre 
of Blakemore and we are hoping 
that he does as well with these 
as with his small planting of the 
previous season. 
WINTER INCOME FOR THE BERRY GROWER 
The time is past when the farmer can make enough from one crop to last through 
the year. Instead, we need something to sell every month. Rhubarb for winter— 
berries for spring and summer.

Cherry Rhubarb is Good as Well as Good for You 
TRY THIS RECIPE FOR RHUBARB SAUCE 
Wash and cut up one pound of Cherry Rhubarb, but do not peel; add 
four cups of water and two cups of sugar. Cook in an open kettle from 
eight to ten minutes after it starts to boil, the time depending on how 
young the rhubarb is. (If you put lid on kettle the rhubarb pieces will 
mash up.) Let stand a few hours for the rhubarb to absorb sugar from 
the juice before serving.
