ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY PLANT CATALOGUE. 



Our four mule disc harrow following the plows preparing the land for 

 strawberry plants. This harrowing is lapped over half way every time which 

 makes two complete harrowings and leaves the soil thoroughly worked up 

 and almost perfectly level. Following this harrowing the land is next spread 

 with 12 to 15 tons of stable manure per acre which is left on top. About two 

 weeks beiore we are ready to set plants the single plow is brought in use to run 

 out the rows. Straight furrows are made about 2 to 2% inches deep in which 

 about 600 lbs per acre of "Maves orange tree' 1 '' or some other good fertilizer is 

 put in this furrow with a McWhorter fertilizer distributor. Following this the 

 cultivator with three 1| or \\ inch blades only (the other two shanks and all 

 being taken off) are run once each way in the furrow to thoroughly mix the 

 ieritlizer in the soil. Now the t- ingle plow is brought in use again and a small 

 list made over this furrow which in turn is raked off with a potato fork or drug 

 off with a small spike harrow so this row or bed will be about level after the 

 first cultivation, and we have an ideal bed for setting strawberry plants, which 

 on this farm is always do^e by hand as we have never found any machinery 

 that would do the work satisfactorily.
