The above Illustration shows Strawberries and Asparagus 
growing In a back yard garden. Even those who live In 
crowded cities and towns with a small space in back yard can 
enjoy the fresh fruits of Strawberries, Raspberries, Goose- 
berries, Currants, Grapes, Peaches, Apples, Pears, Plums. 
Cherries, etc., and It would be a pleasure as well as a profit to 
spend a part of your time after business hours, working and 
watching the stock grow In your garden. 
STRAWBERRY CULTURE 
The strawberry will thrive in a great variety of soils 
and locations. Any land that will grow good corn or 
general farm and truck crops, will grow strawberries, if 
properly drained. Strawberries are not a success in 
waterlogged land. Springy land well drained is a good 
type of soil. IT MUST BE WELL DRAINED; we do not 
either recommend planting strawberries on EXTREMELY 
high land unless in a section where there is ample rain 
rail for vegetation, and soil is very fertile. If this be the 
conditions they will prove a great success on extremely 
high sandy land. If you have grown strawberries on 
your land before, there is no one a better judge than 
yourself about where they should be planted. Straw 
l)erries will do exceedingly well following truck crops, 
such as Tomatoes, Peas, Beans, Cabbage, etc., or on 
land that has been spread with barn-yard manure. When 
possible the year before plants are set, plant a crop of 
cow peas in the land, they make real strawberry plant 
food, and we have never failed to have success with 
strawberries, preceded by a good crop of peas. 
Preparing Land. The land should be plowed deep, 'if 
possible, as this gives the water chance to go down quick 
when wet. and causes moisture to rise in times of 
drought. Lay off the rows after you have thoroughly 
pulverized or made smooth by use of some machinery 
oither 3% or 4 feet apart, set the plants in rows 
■'.Vz feet apart, 1 to 1% feet in the row, rows 4 feet apart, 
set plants 1 foot apart in the row; either method is pvac- 
lical for field culture. See table page — in this catalo.a 
for the number of plants required to set an acre at given 
distances. After plants are set cultivate frequently, about 
Hvery 10 days; keep all grass and weeds from the plants
