STRAWBERRIES. 
These delight in good, rich, moist soil, but will 
grow on any soil capable of growing good general 
crops. By planting early, medium and late varie- 
ties, the grower is supplied with fruit the entire 
season. The soil should be thoroughly pulverized 
and well prepared for planting. As a fertilizer we 
recommend well rotted barnyard manure as super- 
ior to all others. 
For field culture plant in rows 3% feet apart each 
way, 18 inches apart in the rows. For garden cul- 
ture 18 inches apart each way leaving a pathway 
every third row. After the ground is frozen in the 
fall cover with leaves, straw or litter, which re- 
move in spring before growth commences. 
Mulching with clean straw will keep the fruit 
clean and the soil in good condition throughout the 
fruiting season. 
M Perfect and Imperfect Blossoms. — Strawberries 
are all perfect or imperfect, in other words, male 
'Ww% or female. Varieties marked X are imperfect and 
'MM destitute of pollen and must be planted near perfect 
'.. flowering varieties or they will be barren of fruit.

postpaid. Plants by the hundred and thousand will 
be sent by express at purchaser's expense. Add 
20c per hundred to prices quoted if wanted by mail.
