 There has been paid out by J. B. Harden for strawberries to ship out this season about $500, and this from only very few garden patches, nobody being engaged in the business, and very poor season. The fact has been demon- strated that this section is we'll adapted to the growing of berries and that big money may be made at the business. MT. Harden says that there must be more attention paid to the selection of varieties if success is made of berry growing here. He says that it is fatal mistake to take any old plant and set it out expecting it to produce fruit to compete on the market. Do not take anything that has been run out, but buy only choice varieties. This is point that every prospective berry raiser should keep in mind. The cost is not to be considered in the selection of strawberry plants.
