STRAWBERRIES 



IT matters little where you live — North, East, 

 South, or West — or what character of soil you 

 have to contend with, Strawberries will grow in 

 any climate and thrive in most any soil, provid- 

 ing it is not low and sour. As a matter of fact, 

 Strawberries are the berry delight for every 

 man's garden. And by a judicious selection of 

 varieties particularly suited for your soil and 

 section, plus the ever ready Everbearers, a suc- 

 cession of delicious berries may be enjoyed from early June until 

 heavy frosts put a stop to the maturing power of the plant. 



Within the limitations of the home garden it pays well to take 

 particular pains in the preparation of the soil. The beds should be 

 dug or plowed deeply and liberal quantities of well-rotted manure 

 should be incorporated. Particular care should be exercised to have 

 the surface rich, mellow and well provided with plant food, for the 

 Strawberry plant is a heavy but shallow surface feeder. A top 

 dressing of ground bone will be found a great benefit at fruiting time. 



For hill culture in the family garden, plant in rows two feet apart 

 and the plants a foot apart in the rows, cutting off all runners as 

 they appear. If to be allowed to grow in matted rows, set the plants 

 in rows three feet apart and the plants one foot apart in the rows,

We specialize in pot-grown plants, of the kind pic- 

 tured above, but we grow great .quantities of layer 

 plants as well , hence we offer both . 



The difference in cost between pot-grown and layer 

 plants stands for the investment in human labor plus 

 the life insurance policy attached to pot-grown plants. 

 We invite your order for Strawberry plants regardless of 

 which type you prefer. Here at headquarters we grow 

 plants of but one quality — the sturdiest that good soil, a 

 good-natured climate plus human skill enable us to produce.
