Book Description

Excerpt from Biggle Berry Book I hold that it is right to tell what we know in any line of farming, if our knowledge be of value to others and will help them to success. Now, I have been engaged more or less in strawberry culture for many years, and have in that time learned a little, and this little I am ready to communicate to my neighbors and even to impart to a wider circle, wide enough to take in the whole Farm Journal family and the entire remnant of the population of the country. The only trouble is, I do not know it all; and yet it may be best that I do not, since I have discovered that those folks who know it all are apt to get behind the lighthouse and are left in the dark themselves. Confessed, I do not know it all; yet Harriet knows some and Tim knows a heap; together, though, we are so far from a universal knowing that I have not hesitated, in preparing this book for publication, to get the opinions and experiences of a number of bright, practical men. It will be seen, therefore, that some pages of my book will contain explicit information from other berry growers, -living in all parts of the country, in all latitudes and longitudes.
