GROW BIG STRAWBERRIES ’
* Without any Hoeing or Cultivating ^
The hard labor of growing strawberries is prac-
tically eliminated by setting the plants through
the new Mulch Paper.
This method keeps all weeds and grass from
groating for a period of 2 years and at same time
keeps the earth moist ana the action of the sun
through the paper increases the growing bacteria
t soil so that plants so set will grow more
* r, bear larger berries, with greater increase
1 than whefl set without the Mulch Paper.

1 Cape. Chas. F. Gardner, horticulturist
grower at Osage. Iowa, in "The State
> the Tall Com Grows."
... new Red Gold variety is die result of 17
year* of scientific strawberry breeding and select-
ing. it will tdd thousand! of dollars profits to
growers in this
vicinity who are
fortunate in get*
ting an early start
with this won-
derful sugarsav-
ing variety.
Red Gold is a
strong grower
and is practically
immune from
rust and other
strawberry dis-
eases and is also
frost resistant to
a remarkable de-
gree.^It is classed
as a once a year fruiting variety in northern states
but has a longer season than ordinary strawber-
ries and in far south fruits all winter.
The color of Red Gold berries is a beautiful,
shining red. The flesh is firm and meaty, but not
the Uasc bit woody or pithy. The berries are of
large size, single specimens having measured
8 1*2 inches around, and are simply loaded with
that delightful fragrance and flavor of old fash-
ioned wild strawberry. They are so sweet and
meaty that they require only half the amount of
sugar to make highest grade strawberry preserves.
Fourty-three berries and buds have actually been
counted on a Red Gold fruit stem, and eleven
stems on one plant, the tallest measuring 15 1-2
inches. The fruit stems are strong and sturdy and
hold the big berries up off the ground and pre-
vent injury to ripe berries by mole crickets and
other insects and makes picking a delight.
The Gardners offer a Pair of RED GOLD
plants. Free for Testing to our readers who are
property owners. Send ten cents for mailing ex-
pense, or not. as you please. A postal will bring
the plants to you at proper time or you can have
