STRAWBERRY SHOCKS 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; $3.50 per 1000, not prepaid. 



Tacks for Dirt Bands and Boxes, ^4 pound 15c; pound, 50c.
