From the standpoint of the amount of pleasure that plenty of luscious fresh strawberries will give to every member of the family, their tastiness and value as a health food, the prices you have paid for good strawberries during the last few years, strawberries certainly rate as a luxury crop. Considering how easy and inexpensive it is, both in money and effort, to have plenty of these delicious rich red strawberries of your own they should be rated as a "must" crop wherever a little bit of land is available, from the smallest city garden to the largest farm. Strawberries are grown successfully in every state in the U. S. A. It doesn't require much space, a plot of good garden soil ten feet square can be made to produce from 50 to 100 quarts of choice berries. Few things give the garden-minded a greater thrill than picking and enjoying strawberries fresh off the vines. The work is light, easy, and out of doors. Old folks and young folks can help without injury to themselves and with gains for family diet and budget. With a strawberry garden you do not need to take your vitamins in pills. Strawberries contain some Vitamin A and the B vitamins but are an outstanding source of Vitamin C, much greater per unit of weight than tomatoes and the citrus fruits. The good home-maker finds many delightful ways to enjoy strawberries—fresh from the vines, sugared down, preserved or canned, and there's strawberry short-cake, one of the most appealing and popular of all desserts. With new and better everbearing varieties and methods (see page 28) strawberries fresh from the vines can still be enjoyed throughout late summer and fall. And with the home freezer and frozen food locker the tastiness and delight of "fresh" strawberries can be extended throughout the year. Don't delay! Order plants
