It is one of the finest experimental plots we have ever seen and we are expecting to get some valuable in- formation from it. We invite you to come and see this plot at fruiting time. You will be wel- come. Best date about May 25th, 1936. Other strawberry spacing experiments con- ducted by Agricultural Experiment Stations, with probable date of ripening, are as follows: Willard, North April 25th, 1936 Amherst, June 10th-15th, 1936 Wooster, Ohio June 10th-15th, 1936 East Lansing, June 15th, 1936 Visit some of these if you can. We are sure you will be welcome. Other stations may be doing some spacing work also. We are informed that both Tennessee and Rhode Island have planned some spacing work for 1936-37.
