 HAG-EN niABKET ready about April 1st.) 

 These plants are grown in the open field during the fall and 

 winter months, which causes them to make a slow, tough, 

 hardy growth — so hardy that the outer leaves turn to a red- 

 dish brown. They can be shipped to distant points without 

 danger of spoiling, and should be planted in the open ground 

 from four to five weeks earlier than frame plants. 



They will stand a temperature of 10 to 15 degrees above 

 zero without Injury. Will do very much better planted early, 

 as they will take root and start to grow as soon as warm 

 weather sets in. 



Orders filled from December 1st until May 1st. Vfe do not 

 advise planting* later than this time. 



Prices by Parcel Post, postage paid. In lots of 100 to 300 

 plants, 40c per 100 plants; 500 plants for $1.50; 1,000 or more 

 at $2.25 per 1,000 plants. 



Orders are filled by the 100, not 250 or 350. These prices

 pay at the 100 rate.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



Early spring, about March or April, is the most logical time 

 (for Maryland) to transplant strawberry plants. They will 

 grow in light sandy soil and heavy clay soil, responding 

 readily to fertile and well-drained soils. Give plenty of mois- 

 ture when fruiting. 



Stable or barnyard manure will help to give them best re- 

 sults. When plants arrive, if dry, dip in water, allowing to 

 "plump up," before setting out. Plant in rows, 3% to 4 feet 

 apart with plants set 15 to 24 inches apart in the row. In 

 winter cover with straw, and in early spring remove from 

 plants and allow it to remain on ground as a mulch. 



We offer the following best and standard varieties: 

 DOBSETT FAraPAX 

 (Early Varieties) 



These two are new and both known for their vigor and pro- 

 ductiveness.

 before wilting. 



Per 50 — $1.00; Per 100 — $1.65. 



PBEMIEB — Early. One of the best for any soil. 

 BIO JOE — Mid-season. Large and vigorous.

Besides protect- 

 ing the plant from 

 the elements and 

 from insects, "Hot- 

 kaps" are worth 

 their cost alone be- 

 cause they aid in 

 maturing crops 

 earlier. That is the 

 all-important thing 

 to the grower, FOR 

 IT MEANS THAT 

 HE CAN BE 

 FIRST TO MAR- 

 KET AND SO 

 COMMAND A 

 BETTER PRICE 

 FOR HIS CROP. 

 Thus "Hotkaps" 

 far more than pay 

 for themselves. 

 They represent one 

 of the best invest- 

 m e n t s a farmer 

 can make. Thou- 

 sands have proved 

 it every season.

GATOR-HIDE MULCH PAPER 



Gator-Hide Mulch Paper is one of the toughest, strongest, 

 most durable papers made. It is impregnated by a special 

 process with a particular grade of asphaltum which has no 

 harmful effect on soil or plant life. 



Unrolled over the proposed plant beds, and anchored by soil 

 or other available material along the edges, Gator-Hide Mulch 

 Paper imprisons all the moisture in the soil. Its black sur- 

 face catches and retains the sun's heat. This raises the soil's 

 temperature, prevents cooling at night, and promotes continu- 

 ous bacterial activity, liberating night and day nitrous food 

 matter for the plant, producing bigger, better, and earlier 

 crops. 



Planting is done through holes made in the paper, or in the 

 space between two strips of paper rolled out close together. 

 Thus while ample space is provided for the plant, no space is 

 left for weeds, and the nourishment they ordinarily steal from 

 the soil is conserved for the crops you plant.
