How to Plant Grapes 
Dig the hole as broad and deep as if a 
three-year apple tree were to be planted. 
Fill the hole up to the right depth for plant- 
ing with compost or rich soil. A few old bones 
in the bottom of the hole will make rich feed- 
ing for the vines later on. Trim the roots 
slightly and cut back the top to three or four 
strong buds. Use rich soil around roots. 
Always plant firmly. Leave a mulch of 
strawy manure over plant.

We take pleasure in offering this wonderful 
Strawberry, which has passed the test for 
quality and hardiness. The fruit is almost free 
from acid and can be used for eating or can- 
ning with less sugar. Another distinct ad- . 
vantage is that the plants make exceptionally 
long roots, going down for moisture some- 
times to 17 mches during dry summers. This 
is a real advantage. Spotniane are now 
avauable.
