MORE LINE THIS YEAR

That this will be a banner year
for lime dealers is shown by the re-
ports of great increases in the sale
of lime in many of the eastern states
that have been the heaviest users of
commercial fertilizers. That this in
terest in the use of lime will result
in much good there can be no doubt,
but it is likely also to result in some
harm On soils badly in need of lime
moderate application will often
give astonishing results, and a man
is sometimes led to put too much con-
fdence in lime. He may then either
use too much or he may use it too
often, he may be willing to pay too
much for it, or he may forget to use
other fertilizers. II cannot be re-
peated too often that lime is not
plant food; that while it is
needed in every good farm soil it can
not take the place of other equally
soil improvers; that no one
sided method of soil improvement will
ever be profitable in the long run. If
we keep in mind the reasons for US
ing each kind of soil treatment we
are not likely to go far wrong

Plants on the market at S400 per thou

giving it first place on my farm. and in
selling the plants am helping the grower
as well as the buyer, as ! am a buyer
myself and we want something that will
carry as well as the bulk, and this va
riety covers both of these points. The
"Red Rock" can not be misquoted, as
know what this variety is, having been
berry grower for the last 25 years
Here is the beauty of this variety. 1t
ripens around the 18th of May and you
get your money before the slump comes
in the market. 1t has no dull looking
stems or caps, but has large, broad,
bright, gloosy, green foliage that has
never shown any sign of rust. | prefer
to sell these plants only to practical
berry growers.
