STRAWBERRIES FROM SEED

soil is cool, usually give bearing plants by mid-August. The 
fruits are of medium size, smaller than in standard Straw- 
berries, but of delicious flavor and decorative appearance, the 
fruiting plants ornamental enough for edging or even a 
rock garden. Seeds fine; culture “kt.’? Variety Harzland,
