Planting Systems 
There are many systems for planting and 
growing Strawberries, but the most profitable 
are the hill, single hedge, and double hedge 
row. Each one of these is illustrated and de- 
scribed below. 

Plant In a Hill 
The picture above shows a Strawberry 
plant grown by the hill system. Note the ab- 
sence of runners. By the hill system, all run- 
ners are pinched off or chopped off with a 
hoe as rapidly as they appear so that the 
mother plant becomes large and bushy. ‘This 
system requires a little more care than other 
systems, but repays the effort many times over 
in higher quality fruit.and more fruit. This 
is the way the finest Strawberries are grown. 
Hill-grown Strawberries will always com- 
mand a higher price than other berries and 
will sell quickly and easily on the market. 
They simply prove the old saying that “Qual- 
ity will be remembered long after price has 
been forgotten.” 
For the hill system, rows should be made 
30 inches apart and plants set 15 inches apart 
in the rows and all runners removed.

Robinson 
It’s Running Away 
With the Market 
This is another of those new varieties that is rapidly gaining in 
popularity. It has the distinction of having outsold all other varieties 
on the famous Benton Harbor fruit market, one of the very largest, 
and is making enviable records elsewhere too. It is arousing great 
enthusiasm among commercial growers on account of this marketable 
feature. 
Its marketability is easy to understand. The berries are extra large, 
beautiful, glossy, scarlet-red clear to the center, conical in shape, 
and—A GOOD SHIPPER. 
Further, it bears heavily, over a long period of time, and starts only 
a few days after Premier. Berries keep their size well throughout the 
season. 
Try Robinson. You'll like it. And, we think you will make money 
with it too.

“I certainly appreciate your fine plants, they have such strong, 
large, healthy roots. I never saw any plants as nice as yours. They 
are wonderful. I believe yours are the very best. Thanking you for 
the fine way you handled my order.” Verna Burns, Missouri.
