R. & J. FARQUHAR COMPANY 
FARQUHAR’S POT-GROWN | 
STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
These are strong pot-grown plants, which can be safely 
shipped to any reasonable distance. If planted early, they will 
produce a large crop of fruit next year. All varieties offered 
are perfect flowering, needing no fertilization by another variety. 
Cultural Directions. The Strawberry is easily cultivated; abundant crops 
can be obtained from a variety of soils, differing widely in character, from a 
light sand to a heavy clay. The best soil is a deep sandy loam, but any soil 
suited to the growth of ordinary field or garden crops may be trusted to suc- 
cessfully grow the Strawberry. The soil should be broken up and pulverized 
by spade-trenching or subsoil-plowing, enriching with good stable manure to a 
depth of fully two feet, the quantity of manure to be determined by the con- 
dition of the soil. The plants may be set in beds of three rows one foot apart 
and one foot distant in the rows, with a space of two and a half feet between 
the outside rows os adjoining beds left fcra pathway. They may also be planted 
in single rows three feet apart and one fcot apart in the rows.
