How to Save a Whole Year on 

 Strawberries 



Photograph by Henry Troth 



TF you set out ordinary strawberry plants 

 A this September you will not get good 

 strawberries until 1907, but if you set out 

 potted plants in August you will have plenty 

 of berries to eat next spring. The reason for 

 this is that the potted plants have a perfect 

 root system, while the ordinary ones suffer 

 from the shock of transplanting. If you 

 set out an ordinary strawberry plant in the 

 blazing hot sun of August it will come to 

 nothing, but these potted plants will never 

 know they were moved, or rather they will 

 laugh at the chance to send their roots 

 anywhere. 



Of course these potted plants cost more, 

 but they are a perfect godsend, because 

 every year thousands of people who move to 

 the country forget to plant strawberries in

' If you set out ordinary strawberry plants this fall 

 you will get no berries worth while next spring, but 

 potted runners liKe these yield a full crop next June 



the spring or have no time to do so. Now- 

 adays all the leading seedsmen and nursery- 

 men have midsummer catalogues offering 

 potted strawberry plants for home planting. 



GROWING POTTED PLANTS AT HOME 



"Why not pot some runners in my own 

 garden?" 



You can, if you start soon enough — say 

 the last week of June — but you cannot expect 

 home-grown runners potted in August to 

 compete with those that have been carefully 

 tended in the nursery since June. 



These potted plants are produced by 

 rooting the runners in the pots filled with 

 fine garden soil and sunk to the brim around 

 the old hills or between the rows of the old 

 beds. In the home garden, where distances 

 are short, it is quite possible to lift the plain 

 runner plants for summer planting by 

 working carefully with a trowel and taking 

 up an abundance of soil with each plant, but 

 rooting in pots is surer, even if it is a little 

 bit more troublesome. 



A week before the plants are to be put into 

 the new bed, some time about the middle of 

 August, they are separated from the old
