F. Allen's Plant and Seed Catalogue, Salisbury, Md. AUSTIN'S IMPROVED (MAYES) The dewberry Is constantly growing in favor, and Is today, next to the strawberry, the most popular of all the small fruits. The vines trail on the ground similar to sweet potato vines. In size and quality it is the equal of any blackberry, and greatly exceeds them in productiveness. The plant is perfectly hardy, and commences ripening its fruit immediately after late strawberries. By planting the latest varieties of strawberries and the earliest varieties of dewberries, such as Austin's, there need not be a single day's gap between the two. The dewberry is sweet and luscious with few seeds and no hard core. The fruit has be- come very popular in all markets where known, and more and more are being grown every year and nearly always market at paying prices. If let trail on the ground they should be well mulched to keep the im- mense load of fruit from being spoiled by falling on the ground, and the vines should be cut back to two or three feet in length. The best way, however, is to stake them. Our plan of cultivation is to plant in rows each way two and one way by five feet the other, making about 3,500 plants per acre. Cultivate both ways until plants get long and trouble- some, and then cultivate only the wide way and turn vines to keep cultivator from tearing them off; or. better yet, use sweeps on your cultivator. These will run five or six inches under the vines and cut up the grass without disturbing them. Leave vines lay on the ground until all dancer of winter cold is over and then very early in the spring, before buds put out. stakes should be driven between each alternate hill the two and one-half foot way.
