Strawberries 
To cultivate the strawberry for family use we recommend 
planting in beds 4 feet wide, with an alley 2 feet wide 
between the beds. These beds will accommodate 3 rows of 
plants, which may stand 15 inches apart each way, and the 
outside row 9 inches from the alley. The beds can be kept 
clean easier and the fruit gathered without setting foot 
upon them. The ground should be well prepared by digging 
at least 10 or 12 inches deep, and be enriched with well- 
rotted manure, ground bone, or any other good fertilizer. In 
order to obtain large, highly flavored fruit, pinch off the 
runners as fast as they appear and this will cause the plants 
to stock out. The earlier they are planted in the season the 
better crop you will have the first season. 
BANNER—The most popular and best strawberry ever grown. 
Fruit of this sort may be picked from March until Decem¬ 
ber in most localities. The plants we carry are guaranteed 
to be the “Genuine Banner” stock. Extra large, well rooted 
plants. 30c. per dozen; $2.00 per 100.

flavor. 30c. per dozen; $2.00 per 100. 
Currants 
2-year-old plants, 25c. each; 5 for $1.00. 
Currants and Gooseberries should be planted in rows 5 to 
6 feet apart and 2 to 3 feet apart in the row. Trim out the 
old wood as it begins to decline and shorten the young 
shoots in spring as may be desired in order to keep the 
bushes in good shape. A good soil is required which must be 
kept rich and well worked. Sprinkle wood ashes around the 
roots occasionally to keep the borers away. 
CHERRY CURRANT—Very large, deep red. 
Gooseberries 
2-year-old plants, 25c. each; 5 for $1.00.

fine for table use and pies. Strong grower; prolific bearer. 
Rhubarb 
Strong divisions, 20c. each; 6 for $1.00. 
Plant in deep rich soil in rows 4 feet apart and 3 feet 
apart in the row. Set the roots so that the crowns are about 
an inch below the surface. 
GIANT CRIMSON WINTER — Medium sized stalks, thrives 
well during the winter months. 
STRAWBERRY—Large stalks; very tender and fine. Of the 
best quality. 
Berry Vines 
Plant in good soil, in rows 6 to 8 feet apart, and 4 feet 
apart in the row. Each year after the leaves have fallen cut 
off the canes that fruited during the summer. Allow the new 
canes which have sprouted to remain for the coming season 
as it is the new growth that produces the choicest fruit. 
After the new canes have grown 5 to 6 feet, prune off the 
tips of each cane to force out the side branches, provided 
you intend to stake or trellis. If you intend to let the plants 
stand alone, pinch off the tips when canes are 2 to 4 feet 
high. A good top dressing of well-rotted manure should be 
applied as soon as the patch is cleaned up. 
BOYSEN—The berries are twice as large as the Youngberry, 
iy 2 to 1^4 inches in length and about 1 inch in diameter. 
The berries are almost jet black; the flavor and shipping 
qualities are excellent. The vine grows a little more vig¬ 
orously than the Youngberry and is loaded with big fruit 
clusters. Tip roots, 30c. each; 5 for $1.25. 
CORY THORNLESS MAMMOTH—'This berry grows on vines 
or stalks, smooth and free from thorns, and it is the larg¬ 
est of all blackberries. It has a delicious flavor of its own, 
somewhat resembling the wild blackberry. Another feature 
is that it is almost seedless. Tip roots, 15c. each; 6 for 75c. 
LOGANBERRY (Raspberry-Blackberry)—The fruit is often an 
inch and a quarter long, dark red, with the shape of a 
blackberry, the color of a raspberry and the flavor a com¬ 
bination of both. The vines are strong growers and the 
yield is exceedingly heavy. Tip roots, 15c. each; 6 for 75c.

75c. 
Raspberries 
Plant in rows 5 to 6 feet apart, 2 to 4 feet in the row. 
After the fruit season cut out all the old wood which bore 
the last crop of fruit. Pinch the vigorous young shoots sev¬ 
eral times during the summer. They will then grow stout 
enough to stand without staking.
