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. To prepare the soil, spade to a good 
depth and add manure or ground bone. To obtain large, highly 
fiavored berries pinch off the runners as they appear. Early 
planting is preferable. Write for quantity prices. 
BANNER—One of the best and most popular strawberries. In 
mild climates it produces fruit from March to December. Our 
plants are the "Genuine Banner.” Extra large, well rooted 
plants, 35c per doz. ; $2.50 per 100. 
MARSHALL—Of enormous size, blood red color, rich aromatic 
flavor. 35c per dozen; $2.50 per 100.

Plant Currants and Gooseberries 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. 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.

BERRIES 
Plant trellis varieties 6 to 8 feet apart each way. (Boysen 
8 feet.) Provide a trellis 4 to 5 feet high. Vines may be left 
on the ground the first season and trellised any time after the 
canes are long enough. To make picking easy keep new growth 
cut off at the ground after the first season. When the crop is 
picked cut off all old wood, back to the ground, and later, 
train new growth on the trellis. In the spring, spray with a 
Dry Lime Sulphur solution. For best results, irrigate thor¬ 
oughly at regular intervals (about once a week during fruit¬ 
ing season). Keep all berries well fertilized. 
TRELLIS VARIETIES 
BOYSEN BERRY—This berry will be the pride of your garden. 
It is a very large, dark red berry, highly flavored and contains 
few seeds. Excellent for canning and for shipping. We consider 
it the best all purpose berry on the market today. Strong tip 
roots 25c each; 10 for $2.00; 25 for $4.25; $12.00 per 100. 
YOUNGBERRY—Large, luscious berries which are rich, sweet 
and juicy, yet firm and with but few seeds. It produces an 
abundance of fruit, is early and of excellent quality. Next to 
Boysen, this seems to be the best one in its class. Strong tip 
roots 15c each; 6 for 75c; 25 for $2.50. 
LOGANBERRY (Raspberry-Blackberry)—The fruit is often an 
inch and a quarter long, dark red, the shape of a blackberry, 
the color of a raspberry and the flavor of both. The vines are 
strong growers and the yield is exceeding heavy. Strong tip 
roots, 15c each; 6 for 75c; 25 for $2.50. 
MACATAWA—A fine bush variety for home garden or commer¬ 
cial use; requires no support after the first year, and succeeds 
under varied soil and adverse conditions. Bears a heavy crop 
of sweet, firm berries during June and July; and a lighter 
crop again in the fall. Plant 5 feet apart in rows 8 feet apart. 
15c each; 6 for 75c; 25 for $2.50. 
NEW KOSMO BLACKBERRY (Patent)—The large berries are 
iy 2 inches in length, jet black, very sweet and juicy. The seeds 
and core are almost non-existent; heavy bearer. Strong tip 
roots 20c each; 5 for 90c; 25 for $3.75. 
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 several times 
during the summer. They will then branch and grow stout 
enough to stand without staking. 
LLOYD GEORGE—A new English variety, the largest red rasp¬ 
berry grown. It bears a good spring crop of luscious, juicy 
fruit with very small seeds, and a second crop in September- 
October. A most desirable berry for home use and for local 
market, but of too fine quality to be a good shipper. Fertilize 
and keep well watered. Each, 25c; 5 for $1.00; 25 for $4.00. 
RANIERE (St. Regis)—The most popular everbearing red rasp¬ 
berry. It commences to bear a crop of large bright crimson 
berries of the finest quality in June and begins again in Sep¬ 
tember and bears continuously until Christmas. Strong roots, 
15c each; 6 for 75c; 25 for $2.50. 
BLACK CAP—Medium sized glossy black fruit. 15c each; 6 for 
75c; 25 for $2.50. 
RHUBARB 
CHERRY GIANT—The most popular rhubarb grown today. It is 
less acid and more highly flavored than other sorts. The bright 
cherry-red stems are very large and so tender they do not 
require peeling when cooked. Four plants well cared for will 
supply sufficient rhubarb for the average family. It does not 
come true from seed. Plant 4 feet apart. Strong, rooted divi¬ 
sions; 30c each; 4 roots, $1.00; 10 roots, $2.25; 25 roots, $4.25.
