vSTRAWBERRY SHOOKS OR DIRT BANDS- 



Eggplants, Musk Melons and Early Cucumbers 

 pay well if they come early into the market. In 

 order to have them early it is good plan to start them 

 ill a cold frame in what are called "Dirt Bands." 

 This is a box 4 inches square and 4 inches deep, with- 

 out bottoms. These are placed in a frame and filled 

 up with good rich soil, and five or six seeds in each 

 box; when the plants come up, thin them out to one 

 or two in each box. The time to start them in this 

 way varies as seasons and localities differ. It is not 

 well to start them too early, as the plants get weak 

 and spindly if kept too long in frame. From the 

 middle to the end of February is the usual time to 

 plant the seed in this locality, New Orleans. When 

 large enough to plant out, which will be in from 

 four to five weeks after planting, take the boxes with 

 the plants in them out of the frame, by slipping a 



spade under the box. Plant without breaking the ball of soil on the plants 

 per 100, or $2.50 per 1000. 



Fern Pans. -The 



best pot to grow 



Ferns or Lycopodi- 



ums in. They art 



made of Terra Cotta, 



shallow and porous, 



strong and above all, 



very clean. To grow 



Ferns in the house no better pot could be found, if 



used in connection with the saucer to preveut the 



water from dripping through. Instead of potting soil, 



Jadoo Fibre should be used. Ferns grow best in it, it 

 is light and retains moisture much longer than any other soil. We have these Pans and 

 Saucers in the following sizes
