STRAWBERRIES 
For held culture, plant in rows four leet apart, with the plants one foot apart 
in the row. For garden culture, plant three feet by one foot. Should the 
ground not be prepared for planting on receipt of plants, they should be care¬ 
fully heeled in, in a cool, moist, shady place. Do not sprinkle the foliage, as it 
causes a moisture to collect, which is very injurious to the crowns, causing them 
to rot. In setting the plants be careful to have the crowns even with or a little 
above the surface of the ground, and to have the trench or hole in which the 
plants are to be set deep enough to allow the roots their full length. Some 
varieties of Strawberries have pistillate or imperfect flowers. These must 
have perfect-flowered varieties planted every fifteen or twenty feet among them, 
or they will produce imperfect fruit. The pistillate varieties are marked (/’.) 
At dozen and hundred prices we prepay postage or express 
charges; at. thousand rate customers will pay express or freight 
charges.

Vick’s Uncle Joe. Its fruit is perfect in form, of a dark, rich color, firm
