2 C. S. Perdue’s Strawberry Plant Farms 
Soil Preparation 
To grow the superior type of strawberry plants 
that you purchase from Perdue we have found cow- 
pea vines to be the most satisfactory for soil pre- 
paration.

growing on his nursery tarms. 
Note the extreme large growth of cowpea vines 
which are disced and plowed in the land before set- 
ting out the strawberry plants here in my nurseries. 
The pea vines furnish the necessary humus in the soil 
for producing extremely large size, healthy, vigorous 
and yellow rooted plants that make the celebrated 
Perdue’s “Best Quality” Strawberry Plants preferred 
by the most successful strawberry growers in all 
sections of the U. S. A. where strawberries are the 
most profitable crop grown. 
Why Grow 
Strawberries? 
Because they afford not only one of the 
greatest delights of the table but offer for the 
smallest space of ground available the most 
desirable product that nature has given us. 
As a source of profit to one interested in 
the cultivation of the land strawberries occu- 
py a high place with the professional or large 
grower through a season which extends the 
whole year around depending upon location. 
In view of this, great expense, time and 
trouble can be eliminated if the stock is chos- 
en with a view to long, healthy plant life, 
true type and abundant productiveness. 
The plants described herein may be pur- 
chased with the assurance that the greatest 
care has been exercised in the selection of 
the mother plants as to trueness of type and 
has been cultivated so as to assure strong, 
healthy plants for our customers.
