Culture the seed thinly in rows fifteen inches apart 
during. March or April. Thin out to two inches 
apart for strong' plants. Exercise great care in preparing a field 
because it will last many years. 
Transplant during February setting the roots one foot apart, 
in furrows four feet apart. Carefully spread out to avoid mat¬ 
ting. The furrows should be ten or twelve inches deep and run 
North and South to get the sun on both sides of the rows. Cover 
the roots about three inches and as the plant grows throw 
the soil toward the plant. Each year when the berries are 
red, cut the plants close to the ground and burn, then dust 
the entire field with Anchor Brand sulphur, to destroy any 
germs of mildew, red spider or rust that may be there. Keep 
a mulch over the row with a harrow, but cultivate more deep¬ 
ly between the rows. Use stable manure liberally and hill up 
a little higher each year. Irrigate freely during the growing 
period. Three pounds of seed is sufficient to plant an acre.
