. Allen's book of berries : 1930. Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. The W. F. Allen Co., Salisbury, Md. 11 produced; third, to keep berries from being spattered with dirt by rain during fruiting season. The mulch should be applied in the fall. In the spring when plants begin to start, this is raked to the center of the rows and there serves the purpose of retarding the growth of weeds and grass, keeping the ground loose and moist and the fruit clean. Use marsh grass, rye straw, wheat straw or simi- lar material. Coarse manure can be used but any heavy lumps must be beaten up or they will smother the plants in the spring. Distance to Plant. We recommend setting the plants in rows 3^ to 4 feet apart, or even as much as 4>^ feet, if the soil is very fertile. The ?plants should be set 15 to 24 inches apart in the row, depending on the varieties set. the width of the rows themselves and the fertility of the land. Free growing varieties like Dunlap, Missionary, Paul Jones. Klondyke and Aroma which make large numbers of plants should be set farther apart than varieties like Chesapeake, Cooper, New York and others that make larger plants, but not so many of them. When set in rows 3 feet 8 inches apart and spaced 18 to 20 inches apart in the row, it requires about 8,000 plants per acre. Finds Premier Better Than Dunlap. We Think So Toa. Hamilton Co., Ohio, Jan. 1, 1929.—As to the plants I received last spring, they were the best I have had for a long time. They were Premier. I have been growing the Dunlap for many years and I saw my neighbor grow the Premier crop last year so I have decided to grow them after the crop he got last year, but you must keep them very thin on the ground to get good results, so I am sending you an order this year for new plants again. The patch I have for this coming spring is the Premier. Best I have had for years. Looks good.—JOSEPH WE
