methods of growing and they are not inclin- 
ed to pooh-pooh the methods that we out- 
line here. ‘These are the people—and you may 
be one of them—who follow instructions im- 
plicitly and in so doing, produce the big 
crops of high grade, high quality berries that 
bring big prices on any market. A little en- 
ergy, a little ambition, and the will to do as 
you are told—that is all that is necessary. Fol- 
low these simple instructions and we know 
you will succeed. 
The writer of this book, as well as many 
other successful Strawberry growers, started 
in this manner; proving that a small begin- 
ning with Strawberries may result in a profit- 
able and successful business. 
Raspberries and 
Blackberries 
SOIL PREPARATION. Thoroughly work 
soil before planting. Any good soil will grow 
Raspberries. If the soil is poor, use a liberal 
quantity of stable manure or good commer- 
cial fertilizer, working thoroughly with the 
soil before planting. We recommend a 6-8-6 
commercial fertilizer. 
PLANTING. Dig a hole 6 inches or more 
deep, or make a furrow large enough so the 
roots can be well spread. Cover roots with 
fine soil. Press soil with feet tightly against 
roots. Hoe shallow occasionally. New growth 
usually starts from below the ground and no 
alarm need be felt if a portion of the top 
dies. (continued on page 30) 

Wauat a Vacattea 7 
Make fun a part of your life. You need it. 
A good way to get vacation money is—Grow 
Strawberries. One-half acre of Strawberries— 
2000 to 3000 quarts or more. Price 35c to 65c 
per quart or more. Proceeds $700 to $1500. 
Those sums will pay for a very nice out- 
ing, don’t you agree? And if you grow Straw- 
berries for vacation money, you are doing 
something that comes near being fun in it- 
self.

Order Early 
Plant Early 
For best results, plant your fruit 
trees early. They will get the benefit 
of the early spring rains, and will 
have a much better start toward 
productivity—and profits. 
To get trees early, order early. 
Your trees will be reserved for you 
as soon as your order is received. 
Should they arrive before planting 
time, they can be heeled in, or left 
in the package where they will keep 
well for three or four weeks.
