STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 
Our strong pot-grown plants give a full crop of fruit ten or eleven months after they are set out. Plant in July and August. We have the 
best 32 varieties for market and home use adapted to our climate. These, if planted in July and August, produce a large crop the next Summer. 
Being grown in pots they may be shipped to a distance and planted with almost no interruption to their growth. 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 one-half feet between the outside rows of adjoining beds 
left for a pathway. They may also be planted in single rows three feet apart and one foot apart in the rows. 
All the varieties offered are perfect-flowering (biserual) except where marked P. The latter are pistillate and require a row of a perfect-flowering 
sort planted every 8 or 10 feet to pollenize their blossoms.
