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 toa 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 svade-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 avart 
and one foot distant in the rows, with a space of two and a half feet between 
the outside rows of adjoining beds left fora pathway. They may also be planted 
planted in single rows three feet’ apart and one foot apart in the rows.
