How to Make Your Orchard Make You Money 
From trie First Year. 
If you have an orchard started are intend putting out one this winter 
or spring, it is important that you make the ground pay for the 01 chard ex- 
pense until your fruit trees come into bearing. This can be done without 
fail by setting the orchard with STRAWBERRY PLANTS this winter or 
spring. It is well known to all experimental horticulturists that the straw- 
berry is a Very fine fertilizer, drawing tbe nitrogen and other plant food from 
the air, and leaving itinthe earth near your fruit trees causing them to make 
a fine vigorous growth. You can easily make the strawberry by using it 
as a filler for your orchard pay, after the first year, all your orchard 
expenses and also a handsome income besides. In this way your orchard 
will be a money making affair from the start. Whether your orchard be 
large or small it will pay you handsomely to use the strawberry as a filler, 
and thus make monev from the start. We recommend the IMP. LADY 
THOMPSON, KLONDIKE. AROMA and GANDY as the great money 
makers for this purpose, and they are the best shippers, hardy and great 
bearers North or*South, East or West. Put in your order today

"Late Winter and Early Spring Planting vs. Late Spring Planting 
Observations have been made by Experimental Stations, United Slates Pomologlsts and 
other leading men over the country who are authorities on the subject and they nearly all recom. 
mend early planting of fruit trees, vines, plants, etc. 
Observations have been made of late winter and early spring planted and late spring planted 
trees. Data showing the exact growth of apple tree, planted the last two seasons were recorded, 
and In order that each might be handled to illuminate other factors, many precautions were taken. 
In each case trees were selected in pairs.as nearly alike as possible, until twenty pairs were selected 
Oue of each pair was set before late spring, and the remaining trees were set In the late spring. 
At the close of the first season the average total growth on all .new limbs on trees planted 
kefere late spring was 21X7 inches lor each tree, thi average total growth of the late spring planted 
trees was 1*) inches. Growth on trees planted before late spring was almost double that of tho 
late spring planted trees. It was found tnat growth began very quickly on the trees planted before 
late spring and that the callous was formed abundantly^ even when a large root Was cut back 
would heal quickly. Thefnrmingof this callus and the abundant new growth at the lime of 
transplanting, the plant food stored within the trees was in a condition to be utilized at the points 
needed for growth. 
Observations made of the late spring planted trees showed that they did not quickly begin to 
make roots. They were out In full leaf and apparently making good progress above ground before 
new root, growth could be detected. Root growth did not begin until the soil was quite warm— lato 
In the season. Pairs of trees taken up through tbe summer showed that early spring and lato 
winter plated trocs had much larger root growth than those planted In the late spring. 
Late spring planted trees are apt to bring them Into thj dry ecaso:is without having a chance to
