Our Plants Have a Fine Root-System. Starting Right Don't handicap your efforts by using plants of poor or uncer- tain quality. For over 35 years we have been supplying highest grade strawberry plants to growers all over this country. Our plants this year are mostly grown on new land. We used over 1,000 tons of stable manure to make them strong and vigorous. The pictures on the front cover show how our plant fields looked on September 1, 1920. You can do no better than to start with some of these plants. 1. Young Beds. All of our plants are dug from young beds. Most of them this year are grown in fresh new land. (See front cover). 2. Root-system. Our plants are grown in a light, sandy loam soil. In this type of soil any plant can develop its root- system to the fullest degree. And, having a light soil, we can dig plants without breaking off any of the great bunch of roots. With plants grown in heavier soils, the roots cannot penetrate the earth and make the root-system they do here; and, even if they could, it would not avail in giving fine plants, as plants are not removed from heavy clay soils without breaking off many of the fibrous roots, the kind necessary to start plant growth. We repeat: The root-system of our strawberry plants is never bettered, seldom equaled. 3. Sturdiness. Our growing season is moderately long, just long enough to secure maximum development of both roots and crowns. Constant hoeing and cultivation and the tons of manure we apply help keep them healthy and in prime growing condi- tion. The large size, good roots, and great vitality of our plants are a form of insurance, worth in itself, the cost of the plants. You want this kind. 4. Healthy. Our plants are healthy and vigorous as grown in the field. Furthermore, our plants are well clea
