SMALL FRUIT PLANTATION. 



It seems to be a common practice for many of our farmers to order those varieties 

 of small fruits which the agent recommends. In many cases the variety ordered is not 

 the best, and too often failure is a result. It is not necessary when buying small fruits 

 such as raspberries to get 50 or 100 plants, for by beginning with one dozen plants in a 

 few years there will be plants enough to start a large plantation. The same can be 

 said of strawberries, and 25 or 50 plants of two or three good varieties will enable one 

 to make a start from which he can soon increase his plantation to any size he may 

 wish.
