STRAWBERRY ^lUetf, fatten the Packet-book We KNOW that strawberry gardens are profitable! Thousands of growers all over the country are now making good profits from large family garden plots or small commercial plantings of straw- berries. Thousands more have the space and the opportunity to do it for themselves. As an extra money or cash crop strawberries stand out in many ways.

Every member of the family, old and young, can help. (3) Those having part-time or short-hour jobs can use a few of the extra hours pleasurably and profitably in growing strawberries. (4) Good early training can be provided for boys and girls by having their own plantings of straw- berries. The rewards from their work and their responsibility in growing and selling berries will give a start in the right direction. (See letter of Dale Aukerman.)
