STRAWBERRY SHOOKS 

 or DIRT BANDS 



STRAWBERRY SHOOKS or DIRT BANDS— Egg 



plants, muskmelons and early cucumbers 

 pay well if they come early into the mar- 

 ket. 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 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 handling or 

 they will be apt to break at the grooves, 

 as they are made of thin veneered wood.
