Getting Down to the Real Job 



WHEN pot-grown plants reach you, un- 

 pack at once and place them in a shady 

 spot, then sprinkle them with a can or 

 two of water. As evening approaches, take 

 them where the ground is prepared. Get a 

 bucket of water and, just before planting, 

 dip each rootball in a pail of water as shown 

 below.

We do appreciate hearing from pleased

Mr. C. Eugene Foster. Bluefield, W. Va., wrote on August 

 25, 1926 as follows: This Spring I ordered ten Fruiting-age 

 Grape Vines from you, and week or two later sent you an order 

 for five more for a friend of mine. I just want to tell you how 

 pleased I am with the vines. They all lived, and are growing 

 vigorously, and all but two have grapes on them. One could 

 hardly expect vines to do better than that, especially the first 

 year. My friend is so well pleased that he has asked today to 

 have you send him your Catalog of fruits and berries. Will 

 greatly appreciate your doing so." 



Mrs. Carrie Fischer, Annapolis, Md., writes as follows: 

 "We have a number of Apple Trees and a sour Cherry tree from 

 you that all give us splendid fruit. Among the Perennials the 

 Oriental Poppies give us such an abundance of gorgeous flowers 

 that our friends come from far and near to view them." 



The Choicest Among 

 June-Bearing 



Strawberries 



N the home garden, the plants may 

 be set in rows 2 feet apart with 

 plants a foot apart in the row. 

 Where horse cultivation is employed, place 

 the rows 3 feet apart. Cut off runners as 

 they appear or, if you prefer matted rows 

 (which, on rich soil will, of course, bear 

 greater crops), then allow 3^ to 4 feet 

 Detween the rows. Whatever cultural 

 method is employed, the plants should be set a foot 

 apart in the row. For the first two or three days 

 after planting, it is quite beneficial to shade the 

 plants in some fashion during the hottest part of the 

 day. 



CHESAPEAKE— The berries are uniform in size 

 and shape; almost heart-shaped; the color is bright 

 crimson and the flesh firm and of excellent quality.

 e n o r m ous 

 crops of 

 berries that 

 are truly 

 delicious and 

 of very at- 

 tractive ap- 

 pearance.
