GEORGE RENNIE, ANDOVER, MASS. 
and we find that the narrow row gives more berries 
and larger berries than when grown in hills or mat¬ 
ted rows. Make rows 3 to 3% feet apart, plant 
every 18 inches in the row, and let plants make 6 to 
8 runners each. This gives enough shade for the 
berries and also allows the berries to dry out after 
heavy rains. In the matted row too many berries go 
bad as they don’t dry off after heavy rains. For best 
results set plants early in the Spring and keep all 
blossoms picked off until July 4th. 
How to Reach Our Farm by Automobile 
Come to Andover Square, then down Central 
Street and go under the railroad bridge, keep to the 
left, then first right. Our farm is the eighth house on 
the right. 
Every one of our strawberry beds is grown for 
plants and not fruit. Some growers grow for fruit 
and dig and sell the outside edges of the rows for 
plants, the centers being saved for fruiting purposes. 
By this method the customer receives only the end 
runner plants, and naturally the smallest and most 
poorly rooted. Such plants are dear at any price. I 
would rather pay $10.00 per 1000 for good plants 
than take those small plants as a gift. With our 
method of digging and trimming plants, these small 
plants are discarded, your orders being filled with 
strong, fully developed young plants that will make 
a quick, sturdy growth in your fields this year.
