TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 45 
At least a year's time is 
saved by planting roots 
instead of sowing seed. 
For garden culture, set 
the plants in rows about 
2 feet apart and i foot 
apart in the rows, with 
the crowns 5 to 7 inches 
below the surface. Before 
cold weather comes on 
cover the beds heavily 
with manure, and in the 
spring work it carefully 
into the ground. The 
young shoots may be cut 
for the table the second 
season. For field culture 
the rows should be 6 feet 
apart, and the plants 2 
feet apart in the rows. 
Cover only about 2 inches 
when planting, and fill in 
the remainder of trench, 
as the plants grow. 
GIANT ARGEN- 
TEUIL. The finest and 
most prolific of all. Stock 
of immense size; attrac¬ 
tive, rich and tender; comes into cutting condition earlier than most other varieties; comparatively free from 
rust and blight. Claimed to be a French seedling of the Palmetto. Popular with market growers everywhere. 
PALMETTO. Early, large and comparatively free from rust; makes a heavy yield and is one of the 
most popular of the market varieties. The market-gardener will find it particularly valuable because it is 
ready for use several days earlier than most other kinds. 
Giant Argenteuil Asparagus. Prolific, popular and profitable. From Long Island R. R. 
Experiment Station. 
Miscellaneous Roots and Plants 
ASPARAGUS 
JAPANESE WINEBERRY 
Unique as an ornamental plant and for the beauty of its fruit. The berries have a very good flavor 
and are quite attractive. The plant is a strong, rampant grower, perfectly hardy and will yield abundantly 
for a long season. Excellent for either dessert or 
wine. 
HORSE-RADISH 
BOHEMIAN, or MALINER KREN. This is 
undoubtedly the best variety to grow, and is grown 
by planting the small sets, or pieces from the side 
roots, in deep, rich soil and cultivating in the same 
manner as with the ordinary variety of Horse- 
Radish; but the plants are so much stronger in 
growth that the roots grow to considerably larger 
size and greater weight, making it decidedly more 
valuable. 
RHUBARB (Pie-Plant) 
Plant in a dry soil to secure large, heavy stalks, 
in rows 4 feet apart, with the plants 3 feet apart. 
Set the roots so that the crown will be about 1 inch 
below the surface. Top-dress annually in the fall 
with good stable manure and fork under in the spring. 
SAGE 
HOLT’S MAMMOTH. This useful plant, which 
produces leaves of great size, should be in every 
garden. The plant is vigorous and is a very strong 
grower, and does not run to bloom like other va¬ 
rieties. It is really the only variety of Sage worth 
extensive cultivation, and is in every way desirable. 
Very hardy; does well in all sections.
