LAYER STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



The plants which we usually furnish 

 are well rooted layers from the open 

 ground. This has been our practice for 

 upwards of sixty years, and we have 

 never had any reason to think that this 

 mode of growing was not a success.

 not be furnished till after September 15th.
