Mastodon Strawberries 
STRAWBERRIES 
Finest of all fruits. A very small plot of 
ground will furnish all the berries a family can 
use on the table and some to preserve. With 
strawberries in your garden you can have fresh 
berries whenever you want them. To plant a 
bed, make rows 2% feet apart and set the plants 
15 inches apart in the rows. If you want to 
put out a patch large enough to cultivate with 
horse tools, make rows 3 y 2 feet apart and set 
plants 15 inches apart in the rows. When cold 
weather comes the following December, cover the 
strawberries two inches deep with straw or 
prairie hay. 
PREMIER—A large, high colored early berry. 
Fine quality. This variety will often put out a 
second crop of buds, if the first are frosted. A 
week earlier than Dunlap. 25 for 25c; 100 for 
85c; 200 for $1.66; 500 for $3.50. 
BLAXEMORE —One of the finest of the new

riety that has been tested over a wide territory.

ment of Agriculture and was given out for plant¬ 
ing about 1930. The plants are immense, stand¬ 
ing 7 to 8 inches above the ground when mature.
