STRAWBERRIES 
Strawberries succeed in any soil adapted to farm or garden crops. 
Soil should be prepared to a good depth, well drained and enriched 
with vegetable manure (muck, rotten turf, wood soil, ashes, etc.). 
For field culture set rows 3 to 3i4 feet apart, 15 to 18 inches in 
each row; for garden, 15 inches apart each way, pathway every 
third row, For large fruit, keep in hills, pinching runners off as 
they appear. Ground should be kept clean and well cultivated. In 
winter cover with leaves, straw or litter. Do not cover until ground 
is frozen, nor so as to smother plants. Remove cover before growth 
starts in spring. Mulching will keep fruit clean and soil in good 
condition. 
Dip in water as soon as received, and bury roots in moist, shady 
ground until ready to set out; do not neglect. 
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
“Everbearing Strawberries” yield fruit continuously from May 
or June until frost. They are practical croppers, and, coming out 
of ordinary season, bring very profitable prices for market. Caution: 
To obtain the largest size and finest quality of fruit in the fall, 
keep flowers picked off until about the first of July. 
MdStodon According to many reports gathered from all berry¬ 
growing sections of the country. Mastodon is the last 
word and outranks all predecessors. It is of 
immense size, an almost incredible cropper, 
of choice quality, and the strongest grower 
yet developed. More productive than most 
June bearers, its fall pickings are sufficient 
from but a few plants, and very profitable.

THE BEST STANDARD VARIETIES 
Big Joe A catchy beri’y for local market-stands, so large, red and 
■ " ' ' fresh looking beneath its conspicuous green cap. Of really choice 
flavor; productive, vigorous and healthy, in most any soil. 
Blakemore (E)- Originated and recommended by the U. S. Department 
^ of Agriculture. Berries bluntly conic, good market size ; rarely 
white-tipped, vuth solid center, small seeds, firm flesh, tough skin. Excellent 
flavor, aromatic, acid, with high pectin or gelatinizing content. The color is 
glossy light red developing quite evenly on both upper and lower sides, only 
slightly changed by holding or canning—a remarkable superiority added to 
all other choice preserving qualities. The vines are extra vigorous, produc¬ 
tive, preferring the heavier types of soil. 
Gibson (M). strong grower with long roots and abundant foliage, exceed- 
■ ingly productive. Berries extra large, choice flavored, dark glossy 
red clear through ; follows Premier. 
Glen Mary (ILM). Berries large to very large, often flattened, bright deep 
red on surface, light red to center, sweet, rich, good flavor. 
Premier (E). Of smooth, evenly conical form, pnd large; its color the com¬ 
manding glossy red which sells on sight, aided artistically by the caly.x or 
cap which remains green after picking. Quality unsurpassed; production 
gi’eatest of all earlies; plant vigorous, healthy, strongly reproductive. 
Sample (Imperfect) (!•). A standard late sort 
for both home and market. Large dark-colored 
berries in profusion, of uniform size. Should be 
planted with a “perfect” companion ; never alone. 
Senator Dunlap (E). Rampant runner, should 
be restricted in production of plants. Fruit good 
size, beautiful bright red, glossy;-firm, splendid 
keeper and shipper, excellent quality. 
Wm. Belt. (M). Vigorous, thrifty, heavy plant, 
producing large crops under good common matted 
row culture. Berries extra large, conical, quite 
uniform in shape, brilliant glossy red. 
ASPARAGUS 
Nothing that comes out of the home garden is 
so much appreciated, as the tender tips and fresh 
stalks of Asparagus. A small bed of them kept 
weed-free, or a border along the garden edge, will 
supply the average table for 6 weeks or more in 
late spring. 
In planting, make soil rich; dig trench, set 12 
to 18 inches apart, roots spread out, crown 2 
inches below surface ; and tamp in returned soil 
firmly.
