STRAWBERRIES. 



Surely it is right to head the list wiih the most import- 

 ant and profitable of all small fruits, as they can be more 

 successfully jj:rown over a wider field, and on a greater va- 

 riety of soils than any other small fruit. Come into fruiting in the shortest 

 time after planting and are the first fruit of the year to ripen. Will fruit fairly 

 well on any soil with little or no cultivation: yet respond most readily to kiiid- 

 ly location and liberal feeding and culture. Every family who fails to have 

 the delicious health giving strawberry as one of the foundation supports misses 

 a chance of great things for little money. 



For a family supply you want from one to two quarts per day for each 

 member of the lamily. through a season of six weeks that can be had by plant- 

 ing both early and late varieties. For market from 3000 to 8000 quarts per acre. 

 The blossoms of all varieties a>re bisexual or perfect 

 Those marked (imperfect) are destitule of stamens and are 

 termed pistillate or imperfect, as are shown by the following 

 figures. Imperfect varieties must have a row of perfect 

 flowered sorts planted every third or fourth 

 row at least, to pollenize their blossoran. 

 When the imperfect bloomers are properly 

 PEKFECT bLossom. fertilized they are the most prolific and there 

 is no reason for any prejudice against them. Success depends 

 in a great measure on getting fine healthy plants strictly pure 

 and irue to name, this we know our plants to be.

 basket, paper lined, with damp moss to
