Strawberries 
FOR HOME GARDEN OR MARKET FIELD 
Within a radius of 40 miles of Harrisons’ Nurseries more straw- 
berries are grown in a commercial way than in any other section of 
the entire world. When we talk about strawberries and strawberry 
plants, we feel that we speak with authority and knowledge. 
Land intended for strawberries should be put in first-class con- 
dition before the plants are set. Plant in the spring. The matted row 
is the only practical commercial system. The hill system is suitable 
for gardens, where the plants are for recreation and entertainment 
rather than for the value of the berries they produce. When planting 
by the matted-row system, put the plants in rows about 4 feet apart 
and 15 inches apart in the rows. Let them make runners all summer, 
and by fall you will have a thick row as wide as you permit the runners 
to set crowns. North of southern Pennsylvania mulches are necessary 
to protect plants from cold, as well as to keep the berries out of the 
dirt, but south of that the straw is not necessary for winter protection. 
A hundred plants will make a patch for a family of four—but there 
won't be any surplus fruit. Better set five hundred plants, and have 
fruit for preserving or to sell to your neighbors. If the berries are not 
disposed of when freshly picked they may be preserved or canned for 
winter use. No waste here, you see. 
The strawberries here listed are varieties that have been tried in 
commercial and home-garden planting and have given entirely satis- 
factory returns. 
We strongly recommend shipping small lots of Strawberry plants by Parcel 
Post. Should you desire us to ship your plants by Parcel Post, add ct. per 
plant when remitting.
