Strawberries in the Home Garden 
Strawberries are so easily grown that there is no reason 
why every family should not enjoy all that richness of flavor 
which is attained only when fully ripened on the vine and 
served fresh. Any soil that will grow corn or potatoes will 
grow good strawberries. Plenty of humus or well rotted vege- 
table matter in the soil will help retain moisture during dry 
weather. Well rotted manure worked into the soil will pro- 
vide both humus and fertility, and give you more, larger and 
better berries. Strawberries planted this spring will give a 
full crop next spring. Everbearing varieties will give a crop 
the first summer. For varieties and prices see page 24.
