and he will be especially happy in marketing the fruit Working <br> in beautiful fruit is always a pleasure and it will be more so to your boy when he begins to realize a big <br> profit on his berries either on a local market or from shipments to the city Let him start a patch Our <br> collection D page 6 is just what he needs to make a successful start Help him get started and he won't <br> want to leave the farm <br> There is Money in Growing Strawberries <br> QUICK RETURNS One of the things that makes <br> Strawberry-growing so attractive is the quick <br> returns that are realized In growing any other <br> kind of fruit � blackberries raspberries peaches <br> apples etc � two three four or even six years are <br> required before fruit is produced and even then not <br> a full crop Strawberries are different The plants <br> are set in spring; they grow just one year and then <br> produce a full crop of fancy fruit <br> TWO CROPS More than that the beds can be <br> renewed just after the crop is off see page n and <br> another crop can be produced the next year � j'ust <br> as good as the first and with very little expense <br> Profits <br> How much we can expect depends on the land and <br> the market Given good care on good land berries <br> will produce from 3 000 to 15 000 quarts per acre <br> and with even a fair market this will pay the grower <br> handsomely Here are a few reports from some of <br> our customers <br> 2 000 AN ACRE <br> February II iyi6 Clay County Ind <br> Dear Sirs I received your 1916 Book of Berries this spring <br> as usual;
