Our Pot-grown strawberry plants are 

 much superior to la^-er plants, because they 

 are strongh- rooted with a mass of fibrous 

 roots and shipped with the ball of soil at- 

 tached to the roots. In this way the plant 

 never stops growing, but continues as if it 

 had not been transplanted. For gardens 

 where not more than one or two thousand 

 plants are wanted, this is by far the most 

 economical way of getting plants, for they 

 never fail to grow if cared for. . In addi- 

 tion, a crop of early vegetables can first be 

 han.-ested and in August or September the 

 strawberries can be transplanted and by 

 June following a full crop of fruit can be 

 har^-ested.
