FALL BEARING STRAWBERRY SEEDS 
(TRUE HYBRIDIZED SEEDS.) 
During the summer of 1913. we saved the seeds 
from 200 quarts of Fall-bearing: Strawberries, 
and now offer them to our patrons at 25c per 
packet of about 500 seeds. These seeds, if planted 
In March or April, will produce fruit in the fall 
of 1914, if proper care is given. If planted any 
time during the spring or summer of 1914, they 
will bear fruit in the fall of 1915. I do not advise 
depending upon these seeds to get a supply of 
strawberries, but it is a very Interesting pastime 
to grow new seedling strawberries and it may 
result In securing a variety that will surpass 
any of the fall bearing kinds now in cultivation. 
Strawberry seeds grow on outside of the berry. 
It will be possible for people in distant countries 
to supply themselves witlt fall bearing straw¬ 
berries by planting tliese seeds wlien it would be 
impossible to make plants endure the long tran¬ 
sit. Every seed will produce a new variety, it 
may be better and it may be inferior to the par¬ 
ents. The new varieties will have all the differ¬ 
ent shapes, shades and flavors, and it will be 
interesting to watch the results. The most of 
the seeds are from Autumn and Productive, fer¬ 
tilized with Americus, Fran(ds. Progressive and 
Superb. Each packet has printed instructions, 
showing how' to grow and care for them. Price, 
25c each; 5 packets for $1. 
Mr: Bert Mitchell, of Pulaski (Florist), sowed 
a packet of our seeds February 24th. 1913. He 
picked ripe berries from these plants August 4th 
of same year. 
FARMER’S FAMOUS ESSAY 
<^THE PROPER HANDLING OP SMALL 
FRUIT PLANTS” 
The Duty of the Nurseryman and Planter. 
kBy L. J. Farmer, Pulaski, N. Y. 
In June, 1913. Mr. Farmer crossed the continent 
and delivered this address before The American Asso¬ 
ciation of Nurserymen at Portland. Oregon. It covers 
the whole subject from the time tiie plants are dug in 
the fields untill planted by the grower. Every Nur¬ 
seryman and Fruit Grower sliould read this essay 
thoroughly. We are convinced that in many cases it 
would give information that would put hundreds of 
dollars into the pockets of some people by practicing 
what it recommends. Thirty years in growing and 
shipping plants, growing and shipping berries and otlier 
details are not learned in a day. We have several 
thousand copies printed of this essay and will mail a 
copy to any person for only 10 cents, coin or stamps.

THE ST. REGIS OR RANERE RASPBERRY. 
The following was clipped from a leading daily 
paper: 
To A. Ranere, an enterprising local Italian 
farmer, belongs the credit of placing on the market 
a new red raspberi*y, that is. as one man put it, 
•'the berry that i.s making Hammonton famous.” 
All last season people enjoyed the luscious ber¬ 
ries, from early to late, — the latter borne upon 
“spurs” which the plants send up. 
Our local nurserymen are booking large orders 
for the plants. 
The following sworn statement will give an 
idea of what can be raised on a small plot: 
During the season of 1912, from one and one- 
quarter acres of the new Ever-bearing Ranere Red 
Raspberry. I, George W. Swank, harvested and 
sold 15,502 pints of berries for $962.42; my net 
receipts being $526.59, as follows. 
Gross Sales .$962.42 
Deducted for cartage, commis¬ 
sions and expressage. .$185.22 
Deducted for harvesting 
15,502 pints at 1 cents 232.53 
Deducted for packing 
258 1-3 crates at 7 cents 18.08 — 435.83 
Net receipts from 1 Vi acres.$526.59 
Net receipts for one acre. 421.27 
In addition to the above, tliere were 151 pints 
lost in transit, claims for which are pending with 
the express company: and fruit was eaten freely 
on our table, and occasionally supplied to neigh¬ 
bors. of which no account was kept. The plants 
continued to bear after we stopped picking, ripe 
fruit being taken from the patcli on the third of 
Novemi)or. 
The plants were set in 1909 and 1910. Ninety 
bushels of pigeon manure were used in 1912. at a 
cost of tliirty cents per bushel. Enough young 
plants were sold from the acre and a <iuarter in 
1912 to more tlian pay the fertilizer bill and cost 
of cultivation. 
Attached hereto is an exact copy of tlie daily 
reports of the commission merchants, verifying 
the above summary.

FARMER’S POULTRY DEPARTMENT 
Pulaski is tlie center of a great poultry in¬ 
dustry. We keep the White Wyandottes and 
^Muscovy Ducks on our own farms and the rest of 
our eggs are produced by specialists in this 
locality. We believe that our plan insures more 
fertile and true to name eggs than when several 
varieties are kept on the same place, which neces¬ 
sitates their being penned up. Then too, it is 
almost impossible to prevent them getting 
together once in a while, where several varieties 
are kept near each other. Eggs arc packed in 
baskets with dry shavings and delivered to ex¬ 
press at prices attached. We do not ship eggs 
by parcel post. The express companies have 
made a general reduction on rates of from 20 to 
50%, and we reconnnend shipping only by ex¬ 
press. After years of ex])erience, we liave chosen 
half bushel and i)eck Diamond market baskets 
as the best package to shij) eggs for hatching. 
We exercise the greatest care to have all eggs 
])ure and reliable, but we cannot become respon¬ 
sible for the faults of others. If eggs are broken 
in transit or do not hatch a reasonable amount, 
■wo will refill the order at one-half price. Our 
egg business is handled as ])roperly as we be¬ 
lieve it possible, and yet, sometimes, they go
