Plant Certified Stocks |
|
|
|
| |
|
Good
planting stock costs very little more than rubbish and in the long run it
will prove less costly. Many of you will have been disappointed with the
crops produced by those fruit bushes and plants that you have picked up
cheap. You may be lucky now and again, but cheap stocks rarely give
satisfaction. They will possibly introduce diseases and pests into your
garden, and often they do not prove true to type. The best plan is to plants
tocks that are certified true to variety and substantially free from pests
and diseases. |
|
Every season the Ministry of Agriculture examines stocks of
strawberry plants and blackcurrant bushes, and issues certificates for those
stocks that attain the standards laid down. The supply of certified stocks
is limited, but it is worth while saying to your nurseryman, when you order,
"Certified Stocks, please!" And you will find that certified stocks please.
