of fruit or vegetables. and like the
doctor, the more patience We have
the more money we maize.
Soil which has grown vegetables Is
generally sufficiently fertile to pro-
duce a large yield of strawberries.
Soil in which potatoes have been
grown is ideal.
Strawberries and vegetables can be
sold from the same wagon at the

grocers always are on the lookout for
fruit of the choicest quality. The

To the gardener who has never

ness. let me suggest that you begin in
a small way. and increase your acre
age as experience and local condi.
tons may justify you in doing.
Many commercial gardeners know
from experience that strawberries
make profitable addition to their
vegetable business. No other crop
with which | have ever had any expe
rience will yield as many dollars per
acre. and do IL in so short a time. as
| strawberries. II is not an uncommon
thing to get reports from growers who
are realizing anywhere from $500,
$500. 81 900 to 1900 per acre each
year from their strawberries. Reports
OF the larger quantities generally
come from strawberry growers who
have the advantage of long fruitins
season. Last winter, while studying
the conditions and possibilities OF
strawberry growing in the south,
met men In southern Texas who told
me that their strawberries made them
=. from 5000 to $1,000 per acre each
year. On the Pacific coast and in the
inter-mountain states. ! met men who
were doing even better than this.
In Michigan. my own state, many
growers are realizing from $500 &c
$500; in Minnesota some growers re
port equal results, and the same I,
true In the east. In fact. in all states
the growers who are following inten
sive methods are making splendi,
showings and all seem to be NOR
