Successful strawberry Gardens 



Strawberry plants are not difficult to grow; they adapt 

 themselves readih' to a great variety of soils and climates. 

 Small wild sorts are found near the Arctic Circle, and Straw- 

 berry growing in Alaska is on a large commercial scale. In 

 the temperate zone they do well in any good substantial garden 

 soil, clay or loam, that holds an abundance of humus or other 

 quickly available plant food. 



Pot-Grown Strawberries Best for 

 the Home Garden 



The illustration on page 1 shows why Lovett's Pot-grown 

 Strawberry plants thrive and produce such wonderful crops. 

 The heat and dry weather of late Summer ordinarily retard 

 the growth of struggling field grown layer plants. Lovett's 

 Pot-grown plants are practical for home culture, developed in 

 their own soil, under correct growing conditions — the extensive 

 and fibrous root growth has been long established so that the 

 plants suffer no setback when transplanted and are able to 

 withstand the most severe conditions and produce enormous 

 crops quickl}'. 



Now It's Easier than Ever to Grow Strawberries 



Years of experimenting have convinced growers that Pot- 

 grown Strawberry plants can be depended upon to produce 

 larger crops of larger berries than field-grown layer plants. 



By exercising care in the selection of varieties, provision 

 may be made for fresh Strawberries from early Summer until 

 late Fall. For the home garden at least three varieties should 

 be planted — one of which should be an early sort, another a 

 midseason sort, and one a late fruiting varietj'. A dozen or 

 more plants of each variety should be planted to judge the 

 merits of each sort. 



For a continuous supply of fruit throughout the season, 

 we especialh' recommend our Home Garden Collection — 

 offered on page 9. 



Fall or Everbearing Varieties 



This class of Strawberries, if planted reasonably early in 

 the season, can be depended upon to produce fruit during the 

 Fall months of the same year. Y'ou will find our Special 

 Everbearing Collections (see page 10) very attractive. 



When to Plant 



For best results pot-grown plants should be planted from 

 July 20th to October 1st, preferably by September 1st. 



How to Plant 



Upon arrival of the plants, unpack at once and place them 

 in a shady spot, then sprinkle them lightly with water; as 

 evening approaches, take them where the ground is prepared 

 and just before planting, dip each root ball in a pail of water.
