STRAWBERRY SHOOKS OR DIRT BANDS 



STRAWBERRY SHOOKS OR DIRT BANDS. Eggplants, Musk melons 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. 75c per 100; $3.50 per 

 1000, not prepaid. Tacks for Dirt Bands and Boxes, % lb. 15c; lb. 50c, postpaid.

Culture — Best time to plant in South, October 15th to December 15th. Seed should be drilled in rather than 

 broadcasted. In early planting (to November 15th), use 1 bushel per acre, later planting use more.

 mended highly. Lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.25, postpaid.
