Strawberry plants should not be set too deep, 
covering up the bud or crown, but still should be ™ 
set deep enough that none of the roots are ex- 
posed. The roots should be put straight down 
and if roots are so long this cannot be done, it is 
better to cut off part of them than to have them 
all doubled up; this can be easily and quickly done 
by taking bunch of plants (before it is opened) 
and holding roots in the hand near the end of 
roots and clipping off ends with knife or shears. 
My Plants—Are especially grown for plants on 
high land and are dug fresh for your order from 
new beds that have not borne fruit, trimmed 
ready for planting and tied in bunches of 26 for 
25 and packed in light ventilated crates with 
plenty of damp moss, which insures them reach- 
ing you in first-class condition. I make no extra 
charge for crates or packing. A shipping tag 
with Certificate of Inspection, purchaser’s name : 
and full address is attached to each and every hid 
package sent out. Root of My Plants

MATING VARIETIES 
All pistillate or imperfect varieties (that is varieties with imperfect 
blossoms like the blossom shown at left above) I list are marked (Imp) and 
in planting one or two good perfect varieties (varieties with perfect blos- 
soms like the one at right above) marked (Per) of same season should be 
planted every third or fourth row to make them fruit. Some growers plant 
the varieties in the same row, using about one-fourth of the perfect varie- 
ties. It is probably better to plant more than one variety in a field because 
of the beneficial effect of cross pollenization.
