GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

SAMPLE, ONE OF THE OLD RELIABLES 
CAMPLE is another pistillate variety famous for its tremendous yields of beautiful and delicious fruit These two qualities 
5> have made it one of the most popular varieties of the late season. Not only does it yield large quantities of fruit but the 
fruit is of such quality, size and flavor as to make it of universal popularity. In color the fruit is very deep scarlet the m^ti. 
;Sh and juicy and is also highly flavored. The seeds turn red as the berries ripen and "«^'-!\"»'=»]''«Jhe c»lor o^^^^^^ 
Stem and calyx are large and remain a bright green for days after the berries have been picked. Another favorable trait of 
this variety is its habit of ripening a certain percentage of its fruit from day to day until the picking season ,s over This is 
the tw-enty-second year we have offered this variety to our patrons and every season brings to us an access of new custom^ 
for this variety. Nothing speaks so highly of the value of a variety as re-orders year after year. Grown at Three Rivers farm. 
cannot be carried out at a great profit, both to 
the seller and purchaser. We feel confident that 
if you will investigate the possibilities along this 
line, it will be greatly to your interest. 
If you are inclined to doubt the possibilities of 
this venture, go to some successful strawberry 
grower and try to buy his strawberry field. The 
result will convince you that we have not over- 
estimated the excellent prospects as yet unde- 
veloped in this line. 
Strawberries in the Young Orchard 
STRAWBERRIES are the most profitable and 
the most beneficial crop that can be grown in 
young orchards, because young trees require 
clean cultivation, and while cultivating straw- 
berries you are giving the trees just the care they 
should have to insure a rapid and sturdy growth. 
And strawberries do not rob the trees of plant 
food. 
We have many customers who are making $500 
and more per acre each year from strawberiies 
grown loetween tree rows. It requires from six 
to ten years for an orchard to become self-sup- 
porting, while strawberries will come into full 
bearing in one year after plants are set, and the 
ever-bearing varieties which are set in the spring 
will begin to fruit the same season — in August 
or September. 
By inter-cropping an orchard with strawberries 
a splendid yearly profit may be made until the 
trees come into bearing. When the tree rows 
are thirty-three feet apart one row of strawber- 
ries may be set directly in line with each row of 
trees and ten rows of strawberries between every 
two rows of trees. This places the strawberry 
rows three feet apart. Where the tree rows are 
closer fewer rows of strawberries should be 
grown. That is to say, the number of rows of 
strawberries set between each two rows of trees 
will depend upon the distance between the tree 
rows. 
After the strawberries have fruited two years, 
the following season eight rows of potatoes may 
be grown between every two rows of trees and 
after the potatoes are "harvested eight rows of 
strawberries may be set where the potatoes grew 
and these plants also may be allowed to fruit for 
two years. 
We have a hundred-acre apple orchard in Idaho, 
part of which was inter-cropped with strawber-
