necessity. I 
wish to impress 
the necessity of 
loosening the 
earth around the 
plant by cultivat- 
ing immediately 
after plants are 
set, so that capil- 
lary action will 
bring the water 
up above the roots 
and collect under 
the loose earth or 
dust mulch and nourish the plant during the 
trying ordeal of transplanting and becoming 
established. Where you step around the plant 
to firm it about the roots you have left the 
particles so close together that the water 
bunches of plants and set the roots in it and 
take them out needed. Do not let them

draws up to surface with great rapidity to be 
carried off with sun and wind. I do not wait a 
single hour after plants are set before culti- 
vating. 
Leaving tlie ground without cultivation for 
a few days in a dry time kills and stunts more 
plants than any other negligence you are liable 
to commit. To have a boy drop plants ahead 
of the setter, often leaving them five minutes 
in bright sun and drying winds is sure death 
or permanent in jury. Don't do it. Put a piece 
of manilla paper in the bottom of a basket and 
pour in a auart of water and then open the

CULTIVATORS. 
Planet Jr. 12-Tooth Cultivator. 
With pulverizer complete wilh runner cutter. $9.50; willi- 
out runner cutter. fS.OO; without pulverizer and 
leveler, $6.50; pulverizer alone, $1.75. 
The Planet Jr. twelve-tooth cultivator and 
pulverizer, with the runner cutter attachment, 
is by far the best tool ever made to cultivate a 
strawberry bed with. It leaves the surface 
very fine and level. The teeth are so con- 
structed that they lift the weeds out and des- 
troy them, while the pulverizer attachment 
mashes up every lump and leaves the surface 
loose and fine, .so that the capillary or water 
passages are destroyed, and evaporation pre- 
vented. It is instantly adjusted to any width 
or depth. The runner cutter is quickly put on 
or taken off. It is the only cultivator we use 
in our beds. We can furnish all the Planel Jr. 
garden tools and cultivators at manufacturers' 
prices. Send to us for special catalog of their 
goods. 
The Z. Breed Weeder. We have received 
many complaints that this tool tore off the new • 
roots of strawberries which come out above 
the old ones, and so many .soils are not adapted 
to its use. It can only be used on strawberries 
in the hands of a very skilful man. It is all 
right on most other crops. Plants must be 
treated tenderly and for that reason we urge 
all to use the Planet Jr. twelve-tooth cultivator 
with pulverizer attachment.
