STRAWBERRY SHOOKS OR DIRT BANDS 
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. 60c per 100; $3.00 per 1000, not prepaid. Tacks for Dirt Bands and Boxes. 
Y, lb. 15c; lb. 50c, postpaid.

Crotalaria Spectabilis 
World’s Best Cover Crop. Build up your soil with this new Legume. This new legume produces more humis and more 
nitrogen per acre than any other crop. It is not a pest and can be easily eradicated and reseeds itself each year under 
favorable conditions. It is used as a summer cover crop and soil builder in groves, orchards, vineyards, etc. Livestock 
will not eat it, therefore you will not be tempted to cut it for hay when your ground needs it so badly. This should be 
planted as soon as danger of frost is past and at a time when there is plenty of moisture in the soil, and can be planted 
as late as July, either broadcast or drilled. Ten pounds of seed is required per acre for broadcasting and half of that 
amounts if drilled. Grows from 5 to 10 feet depending entirely on the locality. Price: 40c per lb., postpaid. In 10 lb. 
lots at 25c per lb., not prepaid.
