STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
CULTIVATION. When the plants begin to spread and the roots to extend, care should be 
taken that the roots be not injured by the cultivator, and our plan is to shorten the cultivator 
teeth that run next the plants by about two inches. When 
thus shortened the teeth will go sufficiently deep to break 
the crust near the plants without danger of cutting the 
roots of the plants. About two times a month we run the 
five-tooth cultivator through the center of the space between the 
rows, stirring the soil to a depth of four or five inches. This 
loosens up the soil where the horse has tramped it down when 
doing the shallow cultivation. 
One very important practice you should adopt whether your 
last cultivation be early or late; be sure before stopping the work 
to make a furrow four or five inches deep down the 
center of the space between the rows of plants, so that 
all surplus water from rains or melting snows may have 
immediate outlet. This will prevent its settling about 
the crowns.

MAGOON. A large, dark red berry, very prolific and ripens early in the season, being the first on 
the market in this vicinity. A splendid berry for the table. 
MARSHALL. A very handsome, large, bright red berry that ripens just a little later than the 
Magoon. A good canning and table berry and a good shipper. 
CLARK'S SEEDLING. Follows after the Marshall and is not quite so large. Bright red and of 
exceptionally fine flavor; an excellent berry for canning and a good shipper, it is rapidly becoming the 
most popular Strawberry. 
FALL-FRUITING STRAWBERRY 
While they will produce fruit at the same season as the ordinary strawberries and keep on bear- 
ing until frost, yet to get the best results the blossoms should be kept cut oft until August 1st so as 
to conserve the energies of the plants for the fall crop. Treated in that way ripe fruit will be borne 
in about three weeks after that date and continuously until frost. One grower by that method gath- 
ered nearly 400 quarts from 500 plants set out in the spring; a splendid demonstration of their pro- 
ductive power. The quality is superb, the size is good, but not up to the late June berries, because of 
the season at which they are borne. The plants must not be allowed to suffer for water in the fruit- 
ing season and a mulch will be found to be of great advantage. High cultivation is essential for the 
best results in all crops and in growing these strawberries a little extra attention will pay well. There 
is no more trouble to grow them than the ordinary strawberries, but they have to be attended to in 
proper season. 
PROGRESSIVE. A splendid grower, healthy and hardy, very productive. The plant is of medium 
size, the blossom strongly staminate and very resistant to heat. Both blossoms and fruit are well pro- 
tected by the strong, healthy foliage. The fruit is rich and sweet; a deep red inside and out; of good 
medium size with a slight neck and quite firm. Plants set in August and September fruit the next 
spring and on the new runners from July until frost. Spring set plants fruit the same year they are 
set out. 
SUPERB. One of the best and most profitable of the fall bearing sorts, also yielding good crops 
in June, on the same plants that produced fruit the previous fall. Plants are strong and stand the 
winter well after producing a heavy crop of fruit from about August 15 until November 15, according 
to season. Fruit is very large, round, rich, dark colored, glossy, attractive and smooth. Bach berry 
is of good shape and ripens all over at once.
