Strawberry Culture 



1. Location. Soil and Preparation. Adequate soil moisture is 

 essential to growing- good strawberries: whether the type soil 

 selected holds moisture well. Also take care that the contour of the 

 land is such that frost pockets will not form late in the spring to 

 freeze out the blossoms. Sites which are not affected by late frosts 

 are considered the best for strawberry culture. Plow and prepare 

 the soil the same as lor truck crops. Never plant in newly plowed 

 sod land, however, as white grub worms are always present in 

 this type of soil and will do a lot of damage to the plants after 

 being set. The soil should be high in humus for best results. Rye 

 and crimson clover make splendid crops to turn under as a natural 

 humus soil builder. However, in using these, the land should be 

 plowed far enough ahead so that cover crops have time enough to 

 decay before the plants are set. 



2. Time To Plant. In the Southern States from November to 

 April is considered the best time for planting. March and April in 

 the Central States, and lor the Northern States. April and May 

 the best time. We cannot too strongly urge early planting. Set the 

 plants just as soon as the ground is workable in the spring. Should 

 a cold s.jap follow it will not damage the plants if they are 

 properly set. and by setting early the plants will grow better and 

 be more productive in every way. 



3. Distance To Plant. We recommend that Strawberry plants 

 be planted in rows SV2 - 4 feet apart, spacing the plants 15 - 30 

 inches apart in the row, depending on the variety. Everbearing 

 varieties should be planted 12-16 inches apart. For planting in 

 rows 3V2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows, it requires 

 8,000 plants per acres and in rows 4 feet apart and 18 inches 

 apart in the row it requires 7,250 plants per acre. 



4. Care of Plants on Arrival. Set plants immediatel 

 arrival, if possible. However, if it is not convenient to do so, th 

 plants should be removed from the package and dipped in wate 

 to allow roots to plump up before setting. If the plants becom 

 dried out in transit they should be placed in water up to th 

 crowns for at least 3 hours. When this is done the plants shoul 

 be set as soon as possible after being taken from the water, bu 

 in no case should the tops of the plant be wet when being set i 

 the sun is shining, because very often the tops will scald an^
