. Strawberry, raspberry, blackberry plants. Nursery stock Delaware Catalogs; Strawberries Catalogs; Raspberries Catalogs; Blackberries Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs. PERFECT. IMPERFECT. STRAWBERRIES. In preparing a strawberry bed, it is better to begin in the fall by spading or plowing deeply in November, but good results can usually be obtained if this is done just as soon as possible in the spring, After making the soil as fine as possible, plants may be set 18 inches apart each way, if for garden, or 14 inches apart in rows 3 feet wide, if for field culture. One row out of every four must be of a perfect flowering variety. Dip each bunch of plants in a bucket of water deep enough to wet all the roots but not the leaves, just before setting out. Set the plants with trowel, or in any way convenient, so that the roots extend down into the soil, and are all covered, the crowns appearing just above the surface of the ground. Firm very carefully, large beds should be rolled as* soon as set out. Cultivate or hoe soon after setting and often enough to keep all weeds down. Let enough runners take root to make the rows 12 inches wide with plants standing 6 inches apart each way; then carefully remove all other er runners, and remember that the success of your bed depends largely on the care with which this work is done. Keep up this treatment until stopped by winter, then mulch with straw and you have only to wait for your crop, one of the most certain, profitable, delightful and interesting that can be grown. Bone meal, ashes, or well-rotted manure may be applied any time in the early sum mer to advantage.

Those marked [Per] are especially good to use as staminates, or to be grown alone. Order Strawberry Plants Early by all means, as early as possible.
