LOVETT'S NURSERY, Inc., LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



action 



Pot-grown Strawberry plants for which our nursery has 

 pot-grown, these Strawberries may be planted at any 

 > with perfect assurance of obtaining complete success. 

 I by the usual "layer" Strawberries. As for varieties — ■ 

 ) really worthwhile sort, old or new, has been omitted. 



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. 



The bed should be dug and thoroughly cultivated to a depth 

 of 12 to 14 inches. Incorporate with the soil rotted leaves or 

 well rotted manure of any kind. Fresh manure should be 

 avoided because it usually holds grub worms. After cultivat- 

 ing, scatter bonemeal at the rate of 100 lbs. to each bed 15x50 

 feet, raking it well into the surface. 



In the home garden plants may be set in rows 2 feet apart 

 with the plants 1 foot apart in the row. As the Midsummer 

 sun is very hot, it is well to shade the plants in some manner 

 during the hottest part of the day for the first two or three 

 days after planting. The plants, however, should get a mini- 

 mum of six hours of sunshine each day, and this should be kept 

 in mind when locating the beds. 



As all gardeners know, the most important rule for success 

 is to keep out weeds. Go over the bed once a week with a good, 

 sharp hoe which will not only cut the weeds, but will also 

 loosen the soil, preserve the moisture and stimulate growth. 

 When freezing weather comes on in the Fall, the plants 

 should be mulched with coarse manure. Care should be taken 

 that a light covering only be applied and should never consist 

 of wet or otherwise heavy material. 



Shipments should be made by express, or in small lots by 

 parcel post — never by freight.
