STRAWBERRIES 
CULTURE: If possible, prepare the soil well 
in advance of planting by digging in very well 
rotted manure, humus or peat moss to liven 
up the soil. Soak all plants in water before 
setting out. Trim the roots back one-third. 
Set the plants 15 inches apart in rows 3 feet 
apart. Dig holes large enough to spread out 
roots without crowding, and take care to set 
the plants at the same level they grew in the 
nursery. Firm the soil around the roots and 
keep thoroughly watered for several days. 
Feed one week after setting and again in 
August with a good complete plant food or 
fertilizer. Mulch with peat moss or straw to 
conserve moisture and keep down weeds. Re- 
move early blossoms and runners the first year 
set out. After ground freezes, mulch to protect 
plants. Many gardeners find it advisable to 
set out a new bed each year. Strawberry 
plants will not grow or live unless you keep 
the ground moist. 
AMBROSIA. Very good midseason, large, 
bright red berry with firm flesh of splendid 
quality. Plant this berry along with one of the 
early kinds and extend the season for fresh 
Strawberries from your own garden for a week 
to ten days. 
Large plants, 25 for $1.10; 50 for 
$1.75; 100 for $2.45; 250 for $4.95 
DORSETT. The best early light red kind. The 
perfect flowering plants are vigorous, with rich 
green foliage and produce runners in abun- 
dance. Flower stalks are strong, holding the 
fruit well above the ground. Large, conical 
shaped, bright red berries of unusually delicious 
flavor. Very productive. 
Large plants, 25 for $1.10; 50 for 
$1.75; 100 for $2.45; 250 for $4.95 
FAIRFAX. The best early dark red Straw- 
berry. The berries are just about the same size 
and quality as Dorsett, large and sweet but 
are a little more blunt on the end and have 
rather prominent yellow seeds that add to their 
attractiveness. Fruit gets very dark red when 
dead ripe and still remains firm and delicious. 
Large perfect-flowering plants, 25 for $1.10; 
50 for $1.75; 100 for $2.45; 250 for $4.95 
PREMIER. Large, bright red, extra early berry 
of very high quality. The perfect flowering 
plants are extremely productive, strong and 
healthy. The commanding glossy red color 
which sells them on sight, aided by the cap 
which remains green after picking makes 
Premier very popular in the market and on 
roadside stands. 3

FIVE GOOD 
GRAPES 
Grape Vines. Start with strong, 2-year-old 
plants. Cut back tops to two buds and trim 
off all broken roots. Set plants 8 feet apart. 
Dig holes 15 inches deep and 15 inches across. 
Fill in as directed for raspberry plants. Train 
to fence, arbor or trellis. The four-cane Kniffin 
system of growing is recommended. Spray with 
Bordeaux Mixture just after growth starts, 
when flower buds open and again when fruit 
starts to form. Grape vines will not grow or 
live unless you keep the ground moist.
