Pat Qiawst Plants 
The Strawberry will grow in any good garden soil where the ground has been thor¬ 
oughly prepared. For family use we recommend planting them in double rows, 1 foot apart 
each way and 3 feet between the double rows. Our pot-grown Strawberry plants are well 
rooted, healthy plants, ready for shipment in August, and by setting them any time during 
August and September, a fine crop of fruit may be had the next season. The following 
sorts have proved the most satisfactory for growing in this locality. 
#6.00 per 100, #50.00 per 1000, unless otherwise priced.
