STRAWBERRIES 
To cultivate the strawberry for family use we recommend 
planting in beds 4 feet wide, with an alley 2 feet wide be¬ 
tween 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 flavored berries pinch off the runners as 
they appear. Early planting is preferable. Write for quantity 
prices.

ber. Our plants are the “Genuine Banner.’’ Extra large, 
well rooted plants, 35c per doz.; $2.50 per 100.

begins to decline and shorten the young shoots in spring as

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 thoroughly at regular intervals (about once a week 
during fruiting 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 pro¬ 
duces 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 black¬ 
berry, the color of a raspberry and the flavor of both. The 
vines are strong growers and the yield is exceedingly 
heavy. Strong tip roots, 15c each; 6 for 75c; 25 for $2.50. 
MACATAWA—A fine bush variety for home garden or com¬ 
mercial 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 1% 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 sev¬ 
eral 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 
raspberry 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 
raspberry. It commences to bear a crop of large bright 
crimson berries of the finest quality in June and begins 
again in September and bears continuously until Christ¬ 
mas. 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 divisions: 25c each; 10 roots, $2.25; 25 
roots, $4.50.
