The Strawberry Barrel, very widely used in home gardens on the West 
Coast, is, year by year, becoming more popular here in the East. It has two 
definite purposes. The first — it is a space saver; second — it is an orna- 
mental novelty, which is very attractive in any formal garden, corner of a 
lawn, or terrace. Any type of barrel may be used, even a nail keg. 
Complete instructions will be furnished free upon request.
