Quality is a combination of size, shape, maturity and freshness adding up to appearance to the man buying them. Good berries will yield a profit and will pay for the extra care needed in producing them. Here are some of the reasons why strawberries consistently can be grown for profit: 1. Strawberries have a universal appeal. Practically everyone is a potential customer and they can be so attractive when presented for sale either at retail or wholesale. 2. They can be grown anywhere; fine varieties suitable for every state are available. 3. Strawberries bear quicker after setting and bear earlier in the season than any other fruit. 4. Strawberries excel as a family business or large commercial venture. The work is mostly light, suitable for old people, young people, and for women who like to work out of doors. 5. If good land is used, a high income per acre can be expected. This is especially help- ful where good land is limited. 6. Very little machinery is required—none of the highly expensive type. 7. If you have irrigation it will pay doubly for strawberries in producing larger, better crops and also in protecting the blossoms from frost or freezing in the spring. 8. A fairly wide variety of markets is avail- able—roadside markets, processing plants, local hotels and restaurants, shipment to wholesale outlets, and in recent years "Pick Your Own" projects.
