ELLWANGER & BARRY'S CATALOGUE OF 



To Ascertain the Number of Plants Required for an Acre 



The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance apart, may be ascertained 

 by dividing the number of square feet in an acre (43,560), by the number of square feet given to 

 each plant, which is obtained by multiplying the distance between rows by the distance between 

 the plants. Thus, strawberries planted three feet by one foot, give each plant three square feet, 

 or 14,520 plants to the acre. 



YOUNG STRAWBERRY PLANTS LAYERED IN POTS. 



Pot Grown Strawberry Plants. 



Ready for Shipment after July 15th. 



Of late this kind of plant has become very popular and is almost exclusively employed for 

 garden planting. The failures are few, and much care and labor are avoided. We grow the 

 plants in thumb pots, and when they are well established and ready to ship, we turn them out of 

 the pots, preserving the ball of earth around the roots and wrapping it in paper. In this way 

 during the hottest weather in July and August, plants can be transported safely and trans- 

 planted satisfactorily. 



Pot grown plants set out in July and August will yield a moderate crop next season. These 

 cannot be sent by mail. 



Layer Strawberry Plants. 



The plants which we usually fur- 

 nish are well rooted layers from the 

 open ground. This has been our 

 practice for over fifty years, and we 

 have never had any reason to think 

 that this mode of growing was not 

 a success. 



SHIPPING SEASON. 



Layer plants will nor be furnished 

 till after September 15th. We con- 

 tinue filling orders till the latter 

 part of October. 



STRAWBERRY PLANTS BY MAIL 



Only Layer Plants can be sent by 

 Mail. 



At the dozen rate the plants will 

 be mailed at the prices annexed, 

 without extra charge. At the hun- 

 dred rate, if sent by mail, add 25 

 cts. per hundred plants for postage. 

 POT GROWN PLANTS CAN- 

 NOT BE SENT BT MAIL, the 

 ball of earth about the roots being 

 too heavy and liable to be broken.
