STREAMLINER 
The genuine Streamliner is a rather new everbearer. It is the only 
everbearer we have ever undertaken to class with the Mastodon and Gem. 
We have classed them the three top everbearing varieties. We think 
we are justified in doing this considering the reports we have had from 
our customers from coast to coast. You can have berries from the fourth 
of July until snowfall. 

A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR BEGINNERS ON HOW TO 
PLANT STRAWBERRIES 
We would never print in our catalogue a long story on how to 
grow strawberries to tell someone how a thousand miles from where 
we farmed it because we thought if he had made a living on his farm, 
spent his time there, and concentrated on his business we thought he 
would know his farm best. 
However, we do have some beginners who write us seeking infor- 
mation on how to sct their plants and this is what we tell them: Plow 
your land, make your rows 3% to 4 feet apart, set your plants about 
14 inches apart in the row, put the roots in the ground wel and leave 
the bud above the ground. If you will cutivate and hoe them the same 
as other crops the plants will do the balance. Now as to fertilizing 
them when you set them out that is not necessary. Most any garden 
soil is rich enough to grow a bed of strawberry plants. The best time 
to put the fertilizer on is in August right on top of the bed while 
the plant-leaves are dry. Then it is not necessar yto fertilize them again 
in the Spring.
