These
theories were advanced by various
growers last season who did not ob

son for their unsatisfactory results.
Etter disposes of these theories and
explains why best results have not
been secured in all cases. He explains,
in substance, that to get a full crop
of berries the runners must be kept
Both these varieties surfer more
from runner production because of
their capacity to nourish their plants
over a longer period. The runners are
practically evergreen and do not die In
the fall as those of other varieties do,
but continue to furnish sap to the run
ners even up to this time of year.
Practically all growers of the Etter
burg 121 .have been raising plants, tie
cause plants have" sold at a figure that
made a good return. It is worthy of
note that those who have kept the
runners off have not compallned about

practically evergreen, while others die in the fall. This is the statement of their originator.
