. Catalogue and price-list of fruits and ornamentals. Nurseries (Horticulture); Wisconsin, Catalogs; Fruit, Catalogs; Trees, Catalogs. COE & CONVERSE, Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. 3 STRAWBERRIES. This is the first fruit of the season, and, coming at the time when old fruit is gone, makes it particularly grateful to all. To have this delicious and healthful fruit in all its freshness and beauty, grow it yourself. It will make you healthier, happier, and better satisfied with this world generally. For field culture, 3^ feet by 12 to 15 inches, and cultivate only one way, permitting the runners to take root in the rows, thus forming matted rows, which will give the best return for the labor expended. Treated in this manner, they will stand the winter better than by the single hill system. For garden culture, plant 2 feet by 1 foot, keeping the runners cut, thus large stools are formed, which will give the largest and best berries. After the ground freezes, cover just enough to hide the plants. Good, clean straw or marsh hay is the best for this purpose. If to be sent by mail, add 25 cents per 50 : 40 cents per hundred ; free at dozen rates. Our Strawberry plants are all dug from new beds and the rows are taken up solid, and the purchaser receives the stroDgest and best plants made during the season of growth. These are worth much more than plants dug from the alleys, which are the last efforts of the runners and are nearly always small and weak. Good plants cannot be sold at the price of culls any more than a good coat can be sold at the price of a shoddy one. Those marked (P) are pistillate and will not fruit alone, but must have every fourth or fifth row of some staminate sort. Those marked (S) are per- fect blossoms and will bear alone or fertelize those marked (P). Plant at least two rows of pistillates to one row of perfect blossoms, as they are much better yielders. and. as a rule, better growers. (S) WILSON.
