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.
