MARKING AND PLANTING 33 



plant is produced on each runner. Other 

 runners are clipped off as soon as they are 

 produced. 



These two new plants are trained to grow 

 in the row of older plants, being likened to the 

 method of setting a row of plants, each plant 

 being one foot distant from Its neighbour in 

 the row, and allowing no runners to grow. 



The great advantages of this system are: 

 larger developed plants, tending to larger 

 fruit; ease of cultivation, but more expensive, 

 owing to the fact that runners must be cut, 

 and during the growing season strict atten- 

 tion must be given. 



Double-hedge rows. — A system which is a 

 development of the single-hedge row idea, 

 in which the mother plant is allowed to set 

 either four or six plants instead of but two. 

 These plants are trained to form three rows, 

 one being in line with the older plants and a 

 row each side of the mother plant row, each 

 plant having a certain allotted space, which 

 permits ease in hoeing and cultivation, also 

 eliminates crowding, permitting plenty of 

 sunlight and air to reach each plant and 

 giving a heavier crop of large berries than in 

 the single-hedge row.
