These, if planted in July and August, produce a large crop the next Summer. Being grown in pots they may be shipped to a distance and planted 

 with almost no interruption to their growth. The plants may be set in beds of three rows, one foot apart and one foot distant in the rows, 

 with a space of two and one-half feet between the outside rows of adjoining beds left for a pathway. They may also be planted in single

 extensively until its adaptabiUty is ascertained.

 remarkable sweet flavor.

 quantity of large pointed berries of delicious flavor. Excellent
