Strawberry Culture 
1. Location, Soil and Preparation. 
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 straw- 
berry culture. Plow and prepare the soil the same as for 
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 natur- 
al humus soil builder. However, in using these, the land 
should be plowed far enough ahead so that cover crops have 
time enough to deeay 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 for 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 work- 
able in the spring. Should a cold snap 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. 
Adequate soil moisture 
3. Disance To Plant. We recommend that Strawberry 
plants be planted in rows 344 - 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 3% feet apart and 18 inches 
apart in the rows, it requires 8,000 plants per acre 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 immediately on 
arrival, if possible. However, if it is not convenient to do so, 
the plants should be removed from the package and dipped

plant be wet when being set if the sun is shining, because 
very often the tops will scald and damage the plants ma- 
terially. If you are not able to plant immediately after the 
plants are watered, place the plants where they will be kept 
cool and cover the plants with moss; or dig a V-shaped 
trench, open the bundles, distribute the plants evenly in the 
trench, and cover them even with the surface of the ground 
and firm the soil. In this manner they can be held until 
such time as you are able to plant.
