HOW TO PLANT THE STRAWBERRY, THE CURRANT, AND 



THE RASPBERRY 



C. S. Wilson 



Last month we offered plants of the strawberry, currant, and rasp 

 berry to the boys and girls who are interested in fruit-growing. This 

 month I wish to tell the boys and girls who are planning to receive 

 theise plants how to choose a place for them, and to plant and care for 

 them during the summer.
