2 ELLWANGER & BARRY’S CATALOGUE OF 
Layer Strawberry Plants. 
The plants which we usually fur- 
nish are well rooted layers from the 
open ground. This has beer our 
practice for fifty years, and we have 
never had any reason to think that 
this mode of growing was not a suc- 
cess.

Layer plants will not be furnished 
till after September 15th. We con- 
tinue filling orders till the latter part 
of October.
