Don't let dry winds blow on the roots when setting-. Don't

 all the big berries on the top of the basket. Don't put in any 

 poor berries. Don't use any old, dirty baskets. N. Y. 



Don't be afraid to do your share of missionary work in the 

 W.C.WlLSON cause. Buy some of the new varieties. Don't 

 imagine you know all there is to learn in strawberry culture. 111. 



Don't plant too heavy of any sort until 3 7 ou have tested it in a 

 small way first. Don't expect to get the best prices for your ber- 

 ries if you put all the small ones in the bottom of the basket. 

 CHARLES WRIGHT Don't think the country is overstocked with 

 strawberries or that yours will glut the market. By all means 

 don't delay planting a strawberry patch next spring, for family, 

 if not for market. Del. 



WM. D. BARNS Don't set on sod land. Don't cultivate or hoe 

 deeply. Don't cover the crown of the plant. N. Y. 



Don't delay planting until hot weather. Don't set common 

 plants from old patches even as a gift. Don't spend large 

 W. F. ALLEN, JR. amounts for new varieties, but buy a few 

 from some reliable nursery and try them for yourself. Don't 

 watch for the grass and weeds to start before beginning to culti- 

 vate. Md. 



Don't think because one has cleared $500 on an acre of straw- 

 A. G. SHARP berries this year that you can do the same next 

 year. Mass. 



BENJ. BUCKMAN Don't expect to learn it all in one lifetime. 



111. 



Don't let too many runners grow. Don't depend on any one 

 A. W. SLAYMAKER variety, and don't fail to try a few of the 

 promising new ones, so as to know which suits your soil and 

 conditions. Don't try to sell little, knotty or imperfect berries. 



Del. 



Don't let the weeds grow ; hoe if not weedy. Don't ask the 

 GEO. A. DAVIS pickers to pick larger quarts than you give 

 your customers. N. Y.
