HOW TO PRODUCE RECORD HARVESTS 



Tremendous crops of strawberries are being grown by \ 

 simplified method of controlling runner growth, soil mois- 

 ture and weeds. Known as the sawdust mulch method, it 

 works like this : 



1. — Plants are ^set one foot apart with four lines of 

 plants to the row and a two foot alley between rows for 

 walking. 2. — After first cultivation the area is covered 

 with a layer of sawdust one inch thick. Weeds that grow 

 through mulch must be pulled by hand. IT IS IMPOR- 

 TANT that hoeing be discontinued entirely to avoid mix- 

 ing with soil. Mulch will do much toward control of weed 

 growth, 3.— All runners are removed from plants as fast 

 as they develop, 4. — Blossoms from newly set plants are 

 removed until early July. 5. — Sawdust mulch will also 

 give adequate winter protection if the one inch depth is 

 maintained.
