In this system runners are not used at all but are removed as 
soon as they appear, giving the plants a chance to produce earli- 
er and larger crops of big berries. 
When the first weeds appear, two or three weeks from planting, 
they are removed with a hoe. As soon as this 1s done, the entire 
area is covered with a layer of sawdust mulch one-inch thick. 
After the mulch is applied, if weeds should come up, they must 
be pulled and not hoed out because hoeing would mix the sawdust 
in with the soil and destroy its effectiveness as a mulch. 
Either hard- or soft-wood sawdust may be used. A temporary ni- 
trogen deficiency may develop but this can be remedied by the use 
of a nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen deficiency will not be a prob- 
lem unless the sawdust is mixed with the soil. And, sawdust does 
not make the soil acid as many persist in believing. 
About 2 cubic yards of fresh or weathered sawdust are needed 
to mulch a 15 by 40 foot patch. If sawdust is not available, peat- 
moss, ground corn cobs, fine shavings or chopped straw may be 
substituted. For purposes of winter protection, a full inch of 
mulch should be maintained.

ORIGINAL VITAMINS-HORMONES SOLUTION 
We are offering SUPERthrive to our cus- 
tomers. to help you get better results with 
your plantings. It can be used by soaning 
bare roots before planting in easily made 
solution, or by watering in after planting. 
By using SUPERthrive to treat your plants 
when setting out you will eliminate your 
losses or cut them to a minimum. Later ap- 
plications can be made more easily by use of 
an applicator on end of hose. Applicators 
can also be used for applying liquid fertil- 
izer. (SUPERthrive is not a fertilizer, but 
helps plants to make better use of fertility 
already in soil and of fertilizers later 
applied.) 
SUPERthrive starts all fruit, flowering and ornamental plants and 
trees vegetating uniformly soon after planting; starts new white roots 
on bare root stock and produces growth above ground. Earlier and heav- 
1er bearing is constantly reported from the use of SUPERthrive. 
SUPERthrive now has flowering hormones; helps bulbs and other flow- 
ering plants vegetate best and greatly improves their root growth and 
blooming.
