 PLANTS 



Plants referred to as "virus-free"' on this page Have 

 been field-grown from virus-free foundation stock fur- 

 nished by U. S. D. A. Plants have been dusted wttfi 

 parithion to control aphids which transmit the virus dis- 

 ease. Since virus do not produce clear-cut symptoms in 

 most strawberry varieties but simply weaken and devital- 

 ize the plants, no guarantee can be made that the»e 

 plants are 100% free of virus. Because of the measures 

 that have been tj4ien to protect these plants from virus 

 infection, believe them to be substantially virus-free.
