New Fair Haven 
The New Fair Haven Peach is a cross between oats 
Hale and South Haven, so can’t help but be a winner. 
It has earliness, great fruitfulness, hardiness, flavor, ship- 
ping quality, beauty of form, and wonderful color. It 
ripens about one week before Hale-Haven. 
Fruit, larger than Hale-Haven or Red Haven, even 
when heavily loaded. Shape, nearly round. Color, bright 
golden with attractive bright red cheek. Skin smooth 
and very tough. Ships exceedingly well. 
Flesh, medium yellow with moderate amount of red 
at the pit. Moderately fine texture, well flavored. It re- 
sists browning. Freestone. 
Try this new variety. It will make you big profits. 
Red Haven 
This beautiful, flaming scarlet Peach is extra early. 
Days before the ripening time of other good Peaches, 
it will be enticingly colored with all-over flaming scarlet, 
ready to pick, firm and solid, awaiting a trip to distant 
markets. Easy to handle. 
Red Haven has all the famous Haven flavor and ad- 
vantages; fine, sweet, firm-textured, with beautiful golden 
flesh. Excellent for eating fresh, excellent canner. Best 
quality in every way. Hardy. Excellent yielder. Bears 
young. Freestone and self-pollenizing. A_profit-maker

The KEY TO STRAWBERRY PROFITS 
But remember that your roadside stand must be neat and 
orderly. If you are handy with tools yourself, you yourself 
can build it, but do not put up a slip-shod affair made of 
old left-over lumber and sloppily constructed. A little paint 
for painting your roadside stand and reasonably good lum- 
ber and workmanship used will pay amazing dividends.

AS 
WH 
People naturally expect to find fine, high quality 
fruit at a stand which is neat, orderly, and well-kept. 
Keep yours clean, and well painted, and your trade 
will double. 
It is even advisable to landscape the grounds around your 
stand with shrubs and flowers, and by all means keep these 
neat and orderly—take just as much care of them as you do 
your Strawberries because they are a part of your advertis- 
ing scheme which attracts customers to your door, and after 
all, of what use is a fine crop of Strawberries if nobody 
buys them. People will expect to find fine, high quality fruit 
in a stand which is neat, orderly, well kept, and possibly 
landscaped a little, and they will stop and buy at good prices 
to the doubling of your profits. 
Marketing 
Your selling plan should be governed by local conditions. 
If you have a large acreage, it is advisable to sell to grocers, 
while if your acreage is small and you can devote the time, 
it is more profitable to sell direct to the consumer. In either 
case, you should adopt a trade-name for your berries and 
label your crates and boxes so that the public will become 
acquainted with your name and particular brand of berries. 
Large placards should be placed in stores where your berries 
are for sale and by also placing placards in garages and 
gasoline filling stations, many buyers can be brought direct 
to your place. Small advertisements in local papers-are also 
effective in reaching the buyer. 
Your Golden Opportunity 
Whether you will conduct a business of your own or 
spend your life working for others is a question which you 
must decide. ‘Those who have plodded along in the same 
rut for years and are satisfied to continue doing so should 
work for the other fellow, but all who have a desire and 
ambition to succeed, and place the highest value upon 
themselves, should aim to establish a business of their own. 
To this ambitious class, Strawberry growing offers a won- 
derful opportunity because it requires only a very small 
capital and but little experience. The salaried man may 
begin growing Strawberries on a small scale in his home gar- 
den or on a small rented plot without interfering with his 
business position, as the small amount of work required 
may be done during his spare time. 
And now a word for the beginner. Strange as it may seem, 
often beginners—people who have never grown Straw- 
berries in their lives before—are the most successful. This.
