After preparing the soil same as for strawberries, make straight rows seven 
feet apart, ana plant two arc! one-half or three feet in the row. The roots should 
be well spread out in their natural position, and the dirt, well firmed about the 
roots but not planted too deep. Cultivate thoroughly, and keep free from weeds. 
A mulch of 
coarse manure or 
green clover cut 
in the blossom 
will hold mois- 
ture, p re v e n t 
weeds from grow- 
ing, ke e p the 
ground rich, and 
the berries clean. 
When new roots 
are 15 or 18 in- 
ches high pinch 
them off. This 
will cause later- 
als to grow, 
which should be 
cut back in the 
spring to 12 or 
15 inches in 
length. When 
the fruit is gath- 
ered, cut out old 
and young weak 
canes and burn 
them. 
Ohio — Me- 
dium early, good 
quality, fair size. 
We consider it 
the most valua- 
ble of the early 
kinds for all pur- 
poses. It is firm 
and makes a 
large healthy 
cane, and is very 
valuable with us 
for market and evaporating.
