crops is an indicator of the adaptabil-

soil must not be excessively wet, and
yet should have good water -holding
capacity. The aim should be to se-

season. To this end *ell -rooted plants
should be used. Set them early in the
spring.
Give the best of cultivation and, if
need be, push the plants along by the
use of fertilizers. They should• not be
forced unduly, but a growth of canes
three or four feet long ought to be
attained. Prom such plants consider-
able fruit can be secured the first sea-
son after planting. The year follow-
ing, if the plants are well cared for, a
good crop may be expected. Perhaps
a second good crop may be had, but
usually diseases begin to get control
and the crops dwindle and fail to be
longer profitable when the plants are-•a,�

No definite age limit can be set for
crop failure, nor is it possible to

crops can be secured while the plants
