Strawberries 
Strawberry plants are grown under irrigation at Sarcoxie. 
No other fruit gives such quick results as strawberries. 
Planted one spring, they give a full crop the next, and with 
proper care a patch lasts several years. Plant 2 ft. apart in 
the row, the rows 31/2 to 4 ft. apart; planted 2x4 ft. requires 
5,400 per acre. These plants are well rooted, properly cleaned 
and carefully packed. All varieties listed are perfect flow- 
ered and will bear alone.

Grapes in the Home Garden 
Grapes often yield a few bunches the year after planting, 
and should give a fair crop the third year; with age they are 
very productive; in vineyard or garden, cultivated and pruned 
regularly, they yield larger bunches, but bear fair crops on 
fence, arbor or pergola. Scarcely any property is too small 
for a few vines. They succeed on almost any well drained 
soil of average fertility. Plant 8x8 or 8x10 ft. 
Concord. The most popular black grape; 
large, juicy, 
_ sweet; hardy, productive, vigorous; mid to late August.

ductive; early; has given good results in Missouri. 
Moore Early. Ripens about 2 week before Concord; black; 
large; valued for size, hardiness, productiveness and season.
