ducers.

VEGETABLE PLANTS 
GLOBE ARTICHOKE. This is the artichoke of commerce. We supply 
strong, young suckers capable of producing a good crop of buds 
the summer following planting. The young plants should be set 
out about three feet apart each way in loose, fertile soil. Provide 
regular irrigation and clean cultivation. Care should be taken in 
cultivating and that none of the soil lodge in the crown of the 
growing plants, as this will lead to suffocation of those parts of 
the plant from which the young stems arise. The artichoke is a 
perennial enjoying the mild winters in most sections of California , 
and is capable of producing three or four seasons. 35c each, 3 
for $1.00. 
STRAWBERRY RHUBARB. This is a vigorous growing variety pro- 
ducing large, succulent stalks throughout the winter. As the pro- 
duction of the large, fleshy leaf stems depends upon the plant-tood 
stored in the roots, careful attention to its culture will reward the 
home gardener with an abundance of stalks. Cultivate and _irri- 
gate regularly and provide an application of fertilizer at least 
once each season. 35c each, 3 for $1.00. 
MARY WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS. White asparagus is pro- 
duced by ridging the soil above the plants so the shoots will be 
kept below ground. Plant the crowns in rows about six feet apart 
with the plants 24 inches apart in the row. They should be set 
from eight to ten inches deep. They are first covered with only two 
or three inches of soil and more soil is gradually added as the 
shoots begin to grow. Do not cut the shoots the first year. 12 for 
50c, 100 for $3.00.

BANNER STRAWBERRIES 
BOYSENBERRIES, YOUNGBERRIES and LOGANBERRIES: Set the plants 6 to 8 feet apart against 
fence, wall or arbor. Cover roots well with loose soil and keep moist. Canes grown the first year 
produce following year’s crop. Water copiously during harvest and summer months. After har- 
vest cut old canes to ground and train new growth. Apply wellrotted manure mulch in fall 
and well-balanced commercial fertilizer in spring. Average family requires at least six plants, 
assorted varieties. 
STRAWBERRIES: Cut the roots back half-way, straight across, and spread when placing them in 
the ground. The crown must be exactly level with the soil surface. Plant one foot apart on 
ridges 18’' wide, two rows to the ridge. Use plenty of water when planting and during produc- 
tion. Use no fertilizer of any kind when planting. Two months after planting use a balanced 
fertilizer in the irrigation trench between ridges and soak in well. More fruit is obtained when 
runners are kept trimmed off. Plant 50 plants. for each person. 
RASPBERRIES. Plant 2 feet apart in rows 4 feet apart. Cut back canes to 3 or 4 inches and set 
roots deeply in loose soil. Keep moist. First season's growth produces crop following year. After 
harvest cut old branches to 12-18 inches. Water copiously and apply plenty of fertilizer (manure 
mulch in fall, commercial fertilizer in spring). Average family requires at least 2 dezen plants.
