SUMMER PLANTING. 



35 



We get good results from both layer and potted plants. 

 T- J. DWYER Layer plants can be planted with safety in Sep- 

 tember, October, and the first half of November. N. Y. 



Potted plants I have given up and do not bother with. 

 GEO. Q. Dow Would just as soon have strong layer plants 

 such as I grow. N. H. 



I would rather have good layer plants than potted plants at 

 H. S. TIMBRELL the same price at a dry time. The roots of a 

 potted plant do not go deep enough to get moisture. N. Y. 



I prefer layer plants, if to be set in the fall. Potted plants 

 M. A. THAYER are not worth the difference in price. Layer 

 grow just as well, and bear just as well. Wis. 



Our seasons are too short and too cold to practice fall set- 

 A. G. SHARP ting, and I want a full season or more to get 

 good strong plants. Mass. 



BENJ. BUCKMAN Have never set potted plants ; do not believe 

 in fall setting here. 111. 



There is nothing but time saved in fall 

 setting, and I would not recommend it 

 for this section. We do much setting in 

 the fall, but it is expensive, and we do it 

 E. W. REID to save time, nothing else 

 is gained. Pot grown plants are not 

 profitable for fruit growers, they are too 

 costly, but are well enough when one 

 wants a bed for home use, or to get a set 

 for some new variety. O.

I prefer layer plants, they are more thrifty in my soil than 

 potted ones and are sure to live. I never could get much of a 

 crop of fruit from fall set. After the first frost, plants will not 

 GEO. F. BEEDE grow much ; this often happens in Septem- 

 ber. A few varieties will bear about one-fourth of a full crop 

 and plants are just up for next season as much as spring set 

 plants. N. H. 



R. D. McGEEHAN Potted plants and fall setting do not pay. 

 Have quit it entirely. la
