FALL PLANTING FOR STRAVJBERRIES 



Have' you contiidered setting strawberry plants out this fall instead of 

 next spring? Such is the standard practice of one of our best strawberry nursery- 

 men in the state. It has also been tried experimentally for the past 3 years here 

 at the University with the advantage consistently in favor of the fall set plants. 

 Fall set plants develop more and larger runner plants during July and August and 

 therefore out-yield spring set plants in the first fruiting year, 



October may be a less busy month than April for many growers and in case 

 of a wet spring the plants will already be in tie ground. On the other hand, fall 

 set plants require an extra winter of mulching, but 2 quarts of sawdust over each 

 plant should be ample protection the first winter,
