DO YOU LIKE STRAWBERRIES?

Subscription Price, 75c per year

Nearly everyone does, and most every one would like to have a nice patch of his own where he could go out and pick fresh berries daily during the fruiting season, writes Robert Bennett, Grandview, Indiana, veteran strawberry grower. With food scarce it behooves us all to produce as much as we can, and since strawberries are rich in vitamins and minerals, they are especially desirable. Anyone who has had any experience with strawberries knows how wonderfully productive they are. Those who grow strawberries for the first time are simply amazed at the tremendous quantities of berries they can pick. For this reason, one who plans to plant strawberries for home use need not plant a very large patch, and consequently the cost of plants is small. Two or three hundred plants will usually provide all the fine fruit the average family will consume, with plenty for table use, shortcakes, preserving, with a few gallons to give neighbors and friends who have not been fortunate enough to “grow their own”.

As to strawberry varieties, states Mr. Bennett, it is usually best to grow those varieties that have proved successful in your section and are recommended by a nearby plant grower and nurseryman. His advice will prevent your making the mistake of setting plants not adapted to your own locality. No spot of ground on the farm or in the garden will bring quite as much enjoyment to the whole family as will a little strawberry patch. So plan this year to set enough plants to take care of your family’s needs. Now is the ideal time to set plants—you don’t need a “season”; the soil is moist and damp, every plant should live, grow, and bear loads of delicious, luscious fruit.
