way through. 









(2) It has a deliciously mild flavor.

less, and everbearing. It is vigorous and 
hardy in growth. Its stalks are long and ten- 
der. Now considered the best Rhubarb intro-

Giant Victoria Rhubarb 
Make no mistake, Giant Victoria Rhubarb is still an excellent 
variety, regardless of the good things we have said about the Chip- 
man’s Red above. It is easy to grow, and practically takes care of 
itself once it is established. The stalks of Giant Victoria look very 
much like those of Chipman’s Red, but are not red clear through 
like that new variety. It is a very popular variety, and everyone 
likes it. The stalks are extra large, and we furnish extra strong roots.

The KEY TO STRAWBERRY PROFITS 
The diagram on page 16 shows how plants 
may be set lor proper mating. Do not over- 
look the pistillate varieties, many of them are 
the best varieties grown, and by simply fol- 
lowing this plan you can produce wonderful 
crops of fruit. 
Even with male varieties the crop may be 
increased and the quality of the berries im- 
proved if several bi-sexuals« are set in the 
same patch as this provides an inter-change 
of pollen which Nature intended. 

No Mixing 
Strawberry varieties do not mix or become 
crossed through the runners. Everbearers may 
be set beside standard varieties or any num- 
ber of different varieties may be grown side 
by side in a garden or field without mixing 
unless the runners of one variety are allowed 
to spread and take root in the row of another 
variety. Prevent this by restricting runners 
of each variety to their respective rows. 
Setting Plants 
A spade is a very good instrument to use in 
setting Strawberry plants. Simply push the 
spade straight down into the soil, then push 
it forward. ‘This makes a V-shaped opening. 
Now place the roots straight down into this 
opening, seeing that they are well spread, 
and holding the crown slightly above the 
ground surface. Next press the soil firmly 
against the roots, and draw the soil up 
around the crown, but not enough to cover 
the crown. 
Good, firm setting is an essential, it being 
hardly possible to set the plants too firmly. 
The full weight of the feet on all sides of the 
plant will not make the soil a bit too firm. 
The top soil should, of course, be loosened 
afterwards by hoeing and cultivation which 
should start immediately after setting. 
It is a very simple matter to set Strawberry 
plants. Simply use the same judgment as in 
setting vegetable or flower plants.

JUST RIGHT 
TOO DEEP 

TOO SHALLOW 
In the drawing above, the plant at the left 
is set too shallow. The exposed roots will dry 
out and the plant is very likely to die. 
The second plant is too deep, the crown | 
being covered so that it will rot and the 
plant will die. 
The third plant is just right—crown just 
level with the surface. 
Take a little care at first in planting and 
you will find that it soon becomes very easy
