STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



' DIRECTIONS FOR CULTURE 



strawberries require well-tilled soil; the plants should be set 15 inches apart, in rows 

 2 feet wide. Firm the plants well in the soil and keep thoroughly cultivated. 



In early winter when the ground is frozen, cover the whole with long straw, which 

 should be removed from the plant in the spring, but allowed to remain on the ground as 

 a mulch, to keep the berries clean next summer. When strawberries are moved in the 

 fall, they should be left until October or the first of November. 



BIG- JOH — This variety was introduced about twenty years ago, and proven a won- 

 derful discovery. It is a mid-season to late variety, equally in size, firmness and yield as 

 the Chesapeake, and superior in flavor and color. Succeeds on a great variety of soils.

 grown.

 soil (if well drained). Produced in vast quantities, berries of good size, attractive 

 appearance and excellent quality. Above varieties $1.75 per hundred.
