HIMALAYA, or EVER-BEARINO. A remark- 
able berry, producing immense crops of exceed- 
ingly large, sweet, juicy berries, with a delicious 
aromatic flavor. The plant is a rampant grower, 
single canes often making a growth of fifty feet 
in one season. The berries are produced in im- 
mense clusters, beginning to ripen in July and 
continuing until winter. The original plants were 
brought from the Himalaya Mountains, where 
they have been grown for many centuries, and 
the severe climate has made them unusually 
hardy, enabling them to withstand extremes of 
cold, heat and drought. Each, 25c; 10 for $2.00. 
STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
CXTIiTIVATION. When the plants begin to 
spread and the roots to extend, care should be 
taken that the roots be not injured by the culti- 
vator, and our plan is to shorten the cultivator 
teeth that run next the plants by about two Inches. 
When hus shortened the teeth will go sufflciently 
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 flve-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 cultiva- 
tion. 
One very Important practice you should adopt 
whether your last cultivation be early or late; 
be sure before stopping the work to make a fur- 
row 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.

FAEE-FRTTITINa' STRAWBERRY. While they will produce fruit at the same season as the 
ordinary strawberries and keep on bearing until frost, yet to get the best results the blossoms 
should be kept cut off 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 gathered nearly 400 quarts from 500 plants 
set out in the spring; a splendid demonstration of their productive 
power. The quality is superb, the size is good, but not up to the late 
June berries, because of the season at whclh they are borne. The 
plants must not be allowed to suffer for water in the fruiting season 
and a mulch will be found to be of great advantage. High cultiva- 
tion 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. 
FROG-RESSIVE. A splendid grower, healthy and hardy, very-pro- 
ductive. The plant is of medium size, the blossom strongly staminate 
and very resistant to heat. Both blossoms and fruit are 
well protected by the strong, healthy foliage. The fruit is 
rich and sweet; a deep red inside and out; of good me- 
dium 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.
