STRAWBERRIES. 
In preparing the soil for strawberries the 
most essential point to be observed is to have 
the ground plowed deeply; any moderately 
rich soil is sufficient for the healthy growth of 
the plants. The earlier they are planted in the 
/spring the better, keeping the roots from being 
{dried by the wind or sun.

in branching clusters at the tip end of the

and is grand for preserving. 15 ects. each; 2 for

each; $2.00 per dozen, postpaid. By express, 
not prepaid, $10.00 per 100. 
BLACKBERRIES. 
Blackberry tops should be cut back to about 
8 feet, but should not be too closely pruned in 
the spring; otherwise their culture is about the 
same as raspberries. 
THE WARD. Plant remarkably vigorous 
and healthy, free from rust, well branched yet 
making strong, erect fruiting canes, enabling 
them to carry and develop the immense loads 
of fruit. Foliage dark green; blossoms perfect.

firm, tender and melting, without core and of 
the highest quality.

CURRANTS. 
Currants should be planted on good soil, | 
which must be kept enriched and well worked. 
Trim out all the old wood, and shorten the 
young shoots to keep the bush in good shape. 
For the currant worm, use white hellebore on 
the bushes while they are wet with dew. The 
fruit should be washed before using where the 
powder has been applied, as it is poisonous. 
NEW PERFECTION. This new currant is 
unquestionably a wonder, and well worthy the 
Barry Gold Medal. Color, a beautiful bright 
red; a great bearer, with rich sub-acid flavor; 
plenty of pulp and few seeds. A remarkably 
strong grower, and in every way stands at the 
head of our list of currants.

RASPBERRIES. 
Raspberries are hardy and of easy culture, 
adapted to any soil suitable for growing corn. 
Any root crop may be raised between the rows 
the first year, after which they will require the 
whole ground. Avoid cultivation too deeply 
near the plants, as the feeding roots run near 
the surface. An application of ground bone 
worked in early in the spring will give very 
satisfactory results.
