‘ Ame ricus” Is the Most Dependable Fall Bearing 
Our Season Is Late 
We are 38 miles north of Syracuse and near the bend of Lake Ontario. 
1 he ice oi the lake and the west winds blowing from it have a tendency to 
temper the climate so that vegetation does not start early. Our spring sea¬ 
son is olten a month behind southern New York. Plants grown here re¬ 
main dormant and in shape to ship long after other localities are far ad¬ 
vanced. We believe that we have the latest season in the United States. 
It is well known that plants that have not started much are the best to 
plant. We cannot ship conveniently quite as early as in some localities, but 
we can send plants safely and they will grow and do well, long after it is 
impracticable to ship plants lrom warmer localities. We often fill orders 
for large quantities of plants the fore part of June, but advise earlier ship¬ 
ment, say in April or early May.

Transplanted Plants 
We take up strawberry and raspberry plants early in April and heel 
them in closely together in rich garden soil and keep them well watered and 
sprayed with Bordeaux mixture. We find that these plants do not suffer 
the shock when taken up and transplanted to a permanent place that plants 
do when taken up from the ordinary fruiting beds full of berries and luxuri¬ 
ant foliage. I he transplanted plants have little foliage and do not receive 
a set-hack when transplanted permanently, but start and grow right along, 
making grand rows by fall. We can supply customers with these plants 
in June. While we advise earlier planting, we often use these plants for our 
own plantings and find them a great boon to late planters. 
Summer and Fall Planting 
We supply plants any month in the year, when possible to dig and ship 
them. Plants will do fairly well when set at any time, except when in full 
fruit, but do best when set in March, April or May. For warm climates, we 
advise fall planting. We also think it a good plan to procure plants in the 
fall and trench them in, covering with some coarse litter through the winter. 
Then they will be on hand ready to plant early in the spring.
