"Every fruit or berry has its mission to man hidden away within it.  Therefore, set out a strawberry bed, if you haven't got one. . .Plant currants. . .Border the fence with raspberries.  Walk around your place during the early spring days, and make a mental inventory of every spot where you can stick in a fruit tree or a berry bush.  Plant something."

~ From a nineteenth-century health guide, as quoted in The Great Patent Medicine Era, by Adelaide Hechtlinger.
