Strawberry plants. 
I T is surprising what a quantity of luscious 
berries can be picked from a garden patch of 
strawberry plants. One who enjoys fresh ber¬ 
ries, direct from the garden, with their delicious 
flavor, rich aroma, and beautiful color, needs no 
argument to convince him that they are far 
superior to berries obtained in the market. Straw¬ 
berry plants are of easiest culture, requiring only 
usual garden conditions. Plants set out this 
Spring will, by another season, have formed solid 
rows, and produce a full crop. Set plants for 
garden culture in rows from one to two feet 
apart and the plants in the rows from six to 
twelve inches apart, depending on the method 
to be used in cultivating. 
We have many new varieties on trial, but offer 
below only such varieties as we believe are sure 
to give general satisfaction. 
Varieties marked (P.) are pistillate ; (S.) staminate. 
Every fifth row or about every fifth plant in the 
row should be a staminate variety to get the heaviest 
yield of fruit.
