HOBBS & SONS, BRIDGEPORT, INDIANA 61 Strawberries Strawberries are easily placed in the front rank among small fruits, and owing to the wide range in which they can be grown, there is al- ways a good market for several weeks of the year. No fruit lends itself so readily to the varied uses of the table or for canning purposes or preserving. They can be successfully grown in any good garden soil.
