sides the removal of old canes after fruidce eee 
erally pruned only in the spring, cutting bac abouts Me 
of new growth. To prevent t @ canes hanging down 
on the ground some growers either tie them to stakes 
or wire to trellis. 
Youngberries, Boysenberries, Nectarberries—Set the 
lants 6 to 7 feet apart planting very similar to othe 
Tries, Dig the holes large enough to permit spread- 
ing the roots and just deep enough to bring the crown 
or new growth about one inch under the surface, Firm 
the soil well around the roots but do not pack it over 
the growing bud. Water well when planting if ground 
is dry. They will provide fruit if allowed to follow the 
natural habit of trailing on the ground but the many 
advantages of the trellis more than amply repay for the 
additional labor and expense. Old canes should be re- 
moved after fruiting and in the spring the new canes 
trained carefully to the wires or trellis. In sections 
where winter temperature drops to zero and lower a 
mulch or protection of dry straw or other suitable ma- 
terial should be placed over the young canes on the 
ground in the kate fall and to remain so covered until 
early spring. 
Strawberries—Plants should be set and cared for the 
same as tomato and cabbage plants. Plant in rows three 
to three and one-half feet apart and fifteen to eighteen 
inches aport in the row. Thecheapest way to grow them 
is to plant in long rows and tend with a cultivator,
