CULTURE. Strawberry plants may be set as close 
as 2 feet apart in the row and the rows 3 or 34 feet 
apart to allow for easy cultivation. At a planting dis- 
tance of 2 by 34 feet, 6,300 plants will be required for 
oneacre. Do not plant too deep. The crown of the plant 
must be above the level of the ground and the soil care- 
fully firmed around each plant. Shallow cultivation is 
important. Many growers mulch the plants with straw 
during the winter. This is applied late in the season 
when the ground is frozen, and may be left on in the 
spring. 
25 of any one variety for $1.75; 50 for $2.75; $4.25 
per 100; 250 for $8.75; except where noted. Not less 
than 25 of one variety are sold.

GROW YOUR OWN BLUEBERRIES— 
PICK THEM FRESH OFF THE BUSH 
Every home garden has room for at least a few of 
those plants. It takes only a few to produce all the 
berries a family willneed. As a commercial proposition 
it is one of the most profitable fruits to grow. You can 
begin picking the second or third season after planting. 
Blueberries are also ornamental shrubs of rare beauty. 
Plant them im rows, in clumps on the Iawn, or in the 
shrubbery border. A hedge of Blueberries is both prof- 
itable and ornamental. 
Choose a piece of ground easily supplied with mois- 
ture during dry summer months; it should not, how- 
ever, at any time become water-logged. Plant in full sun 
if possible, or in partial shade. Be sure the soil is acid; 
plenty of well-rotted manure mixed in it will give good 
ese. Give shallow cultivation, not over 2 to 3 inches 
deep.

VINES 
Climbing vines are excellent for many uses around the 
home grounds, such as on porches, trellises, arbors, 
pergolas and posts, for clambering up old tree trunks, 
for ground covers and for sprawling over rocks. 

Large-flowering Clematis 
_ A partially shaded location suits Clematis best. If 
it 1s grown in the sun, a few small plants to shade the 
lower stems and roots will help to keep the ground cool 
and moist. A summer mulch of peat moss or spent hops 
may be used to advantage. Clematis thrives best in 
well-drained, rich garden loam of rather light texture. 
Sand and peat moss may be mixed with heavy soil to 
loosen it, and a little lime should also be added. Set the 
collar of the plant at least 2 to 3 inches below the sur- 
face of the soil. Firm the soil well around the roots and 
water thoroughly.
