STRAWBERRIES 



Strawberries thrive best on a rich sandy loam, 

 though they can be grown in almost any soil. 

 Plenty of moisture and thorough draining are 

 necessary. 



Manure should be applied to the strawberry bed in 

 the fall and should be plowed under eight or ten 

 inches. A second plowing should be given in the 

 spring. 



Rows for strawberries should be three or four feet 

 apart and plants should be about a foot and a half 

 from each other. 



Set out only the best varieties of strawberries. 

 None others are worth the time spent on them.
