STRAWBERRY SHOOKS OR DIRT BANDS 



418. STRAWBERRY SHOOKS OR DIRT BANDS. 



Eggplants, Muskmelons and Early Cucumbers pay well if they come 

 early into the market. In order to have them early, it is a good 

 plan to start them in a cold frame in what are called "Dirt Bands." 

 This is a box 4 inches square and 4 inches deep, without bottoms. 

 These are placed in a frame and filled up with good rich soil, and 

 five or six seeds in each box; when the plants come up, thin them 

 out to one or two in each box. Before using dirt bands, wet them 

 thoroughly before bending or they will be apt to break at the 

 grooves, as they are made of thin veneered wood. 



Price: 75c per 100; $4.00 per 1000, not prepaid. 



Tacks for Dirt Bands and Boxes, *4 lb. 15c; lb. 50c, postpaid.
