STRAWBERRIES 
CULTURE: A good many people overlook the Straw- 
berry, thinking the plants demand too much care, but 
this is not true. Strawberries will succeed in any soil 
that is adapted to ordinary farm or garden crops. For 
field culture set in rows three feet apart, 18 inches in 
tows; for garden, 15 inches each way, leaving path- 
way every third row. The ground should always be 
kept clean and well cultivated. In winter, a covering 
of leaves, straw or some kind of litter will protect the 
plants. Do not cover them until the ground is frozen, 
or so deep as to smother plants, and remove covering 
before growth starts in the spring. It is best to change 
the location of the bed about every three years and 
do not fertilize heavily as it tends to produce foliage 
instead of fruit.

EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
This wonderful Strawberry was obtained in cross- 
pollinating the wild everbearing Alpine sorts with 
the standard varieties, and yields continuously 
from the latter part of May until long after frost. 
The plants bear the same year they are started, 
but if a large amount of late berries is desired, it 
is better to pinch the blossoms during May and 
June, which causes the heaviest crop to come on 
during September and October. 
In setting strawberry plants, place them 
on the upper side of a ditch and as near the 
same depth as they were growing before 
Be sure 
being taken up for transplanting. 
not to bury the crown and also not to plant 
with the crown exposed. 
GEM. This everbearing strawberry has proven to 
be the best all purpose berry for the western 
territory. In fact they are so popular we have 
discontinued other varieties of everbearing 
strawberries in favor of the Gem. It has a very 
good flavor, dark red and firm. Fruits are large, 
tender and juicy. It does not have the light 
colored, solid core found in some everbearing 
types. Very prolific in the production of plants 
which have dark green foliage. Hardy and a 
good commercial as well as a good home garden 
berry. 
HARDY GRAPE VINES 
Everyone should plant Grapes in the home gar- 
den. Grapes are easy to grow and do well in 
any ordinary soil. They can be trained over frames, 
trellises or doorways and are ornamental as well 
as practical. Make your own grape juice, etc. 
BETA. It is a cross between tame and wild. Hardy, 
prolific and fine for cooking and Jelly. Color 
similar to Concord. 
CACO. Hardy in Colorado. 
Red skinned and sweet. 
CONCORD (Black). The fine old market leader, 
with large, handsome clusters of big, luscious 
grapes. Entirely hardy, productive and reliable; 
succeeds well over a great extent of country. 
FREDONIA. Bears a little earlier than Concord. 
Large bunches of blue-black fruit that cannot be 
excelled for canning of all sorts. Very well 
recommended by growers as a hardy and good 
producer in Colorado. 
Fine for table use. 

MOORE’S EARLY (Black). The most reliable early 
variety. Is of medium bunch, large berries, 
black, ripens fully two weeks earlier than Con- 
cord. 
NIAGARA (White). An extra early variety. Skin 
thin, pulp tender and sweet, quality superb. 
Bunch and berry medium size. Vine hardy, vig- 
orous and productive.
