Hammond's Slug Shot for Potato Bugs, 



Caterpillars, Cabbage Worms, Etc 



DRAKE'S GARDEN, East Brookfield, Mass., Jan. 14, 1905. 

 We have used Slug - Shot and always found it very useful. Our potato 

 crop yielded 200 bushels to the acre. Slug Shot for Cabbage Worms is the 

 best defense in the world. Very truly, F. A. DRAKE. 



Cabbage Worms 



The Cabbage Worm has spread wherever cabbage is grown. Whether 

 early cabbage or late cabbage, in garden or field, it perforates the plant, and 

 is of all worms one of the most disgusting, to find hidden away in the 

 folds of the leaf. 

 IF YOU WANT CABBAGE FREE FROM WORMS, USE HAMMOND'S SLUG SHOT. 



How to Destroy Cabbage Worms. — Slug Shot can be used lightly or heavily and the 

 cabbage suffers no harm. The cabbage forms its head by the interior growth ; it throws off its 

 earlier and outside leaves, and no dust can enfold within its head. Apply Slug Shot with a 

 Duster, sieve it over the plants or full grown cabbages. The powder is very fine and goes a 

 long way in field or garden.

plants by cutting the runner, and watered 

 so as to be kept growing. Separated from 

 the parent plant, the young ones will become 

 thoroughly established on their own roots and 

 develop strong and vigorous, ready to be 

 lifted without suffering a shock. 



STRAWBERRIES FOLLOW PEAS 



Take the pots out of the ground, plants 

 and all, and carry them to the site for the new 

 bed, which should be in a part of the garden 

 that has been in some well-cultivated crop 

 during the early part of the season. Ground 

 that has been in the main crop of peas will 

 answer admirably for the new strawberry bed. 

 It will be in the proper fineness and free from 

 the insect pests which sometimes trouble the 

 strawberry grower. After the pea vines 

 have been cleared off in the middle of July 

 the plot should be heavily manured and 

 deeply plowed. Plowing should be deeper 

 on dry soil, so that the ground will be opened 

 up for the roots to penetrate as far down as 

 they want to grow, which will give them 

 protection in times of unusual drought; and 

 this little detail of careful cultivation is 

 equally true about other crops. 



Turn the soil at least one foot whenever you 

 dig the garden, and don't be alarmed if you 

 do bring up a few inches of sand or gravel. 

 It may bother you a little bit this year, but 

 after one or two treatments in this way you 

 will simply have added so many more inches 

 in depth to your soil and thus have increased 

 the fertility. This is particularly advantage- 

 ous in strawberry growing, as the full growth 

 of the next season's crop has to be made in 

 very short time after frost is out of the 

 ground in the spring. 



% JUST HOW TO MAKE THE BED 



For the home garden strawberry plants 

 can be set closer together than is the practice 

 in commercial fields. With the rows two or 

 three feet apart, and the plants about eighteen 

 inches apart in the row, there will be ample 

 room. (See June Garden Magazine, page 

 221, for forceful illustrations of how to do 

 that.) In planting the runners use a fork or 

 trowel and have a guide line to make the rows 

 straight; this will allow cultivation with the 

 wheel hoe during the balance of the year. 

 Water thoroughly after planting and see that 

 the plants are kept growing until they become 

 established. In the course of a few weeks 

 cultivation should cease, and after the ground 

 becomes frozen the whole bed, plants and all, 

 can be covered with a mulch of thoroughly 

 rotted manure, which will be ready for turning 

 under in the spring as soon as the growth 

 starts. One objection to the use of stable 

 manure is its liability of carrying weed seeds 

 into the strawberry patch, but there need be 

 no fear on this score if the manure has been 

 thoroughly rotted before it is put on the 

 strawberry bed. 



If you intend to make a new bed this 

 summer be sure to select a spot such as is 

 described, and don't forget to enrich it. As 

 an old-time grower once said, "You can 

 almost measure the size of your crop by the 

 quantity of fertilizer you put into the bed 

 when planting." Leslie Hudson.
