ball. All the roots and the lower part of the 

 crown should be in the soil and care should be 

 exercised to keep the heart and upper part of 

 the crown above the soil. 



The first season, if the plants are set in the 

 spring, remove all bloom and start cultivating 

 shortly after the plants are set. Cultivate 

 after a rain but not when the soil sticks to the 

 implement. No practice is so valuable to the 

 growth and production of the strawberry as 

 frequent and thorough cultivation. 



The bisexual (B) varieties have both the 

 male and female organs in the flower, and are 

 therefore self pollinated, while the female 

 flower having only the female organs, if not 

 pollinated, will not bear fruit. 



The following list of standard varieties is 

 recommended. From 175 to 200 plants will 

 supply a family of six with berries through the 

 season.
