CHAPTER IX. 



SUMMER PLANTING. 

 (Continued.) 



Time may be saved by summer planting of rare 

 varieties. TIM. 



THIS subject is partially treated in the previous 

 chapter, but I think it best to give it a little 

 more ventilation, and present the views of 

 several growers on layer and potted 

 plants for late summer and fall set- 

 ting. 



The illustration represents a nice 

 potted plant, ready to be set out in 

 late summer. Such can be had of any 

 plant nurseryman, and will make strong bearing 

 plants the following June. 



A. M. PURDY My experience is, nothing is gained by fall 

 planting, considering the extra expense and work. N. Y. 



Potted plants I have not practiced with, but depend on layers 

 SAM'l MILLER well rooted, and if these are set at any time 

 before the middle of October, can bear a fair crop of fruit the 

 following year. Mo. 



Layer plants, if properly set at a favorable time, do as well 

 G. S. BUTLER as potted, but for dry weather the latter are 

 safest. The advantage of fall setting of plants is time gained 

 in early spring. Conn. 



Potted plants will only give good results when set out just 

 A. W. SLAYMAKER at the right time or before they have 

 become cramped in the pots. Fall planting is not satisfactory 

 fcere. Del.
