Successful Strawberry Gardens 



Strawberry plants are not difficult to grow; thev adapt 

 themselves readily 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 this page 

 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 grow th of struggling field 

 grown layer plants. Lovett's 

 Pot-grown plants are practi- 

 cal for home culture, develop- 

 ed in their own soil, under cor- 

 rect growing conditions — the 

 extensive and fibrous root 

 growth has been long estab- 

 lished so that the plants suffer 

 no setback when transplanted 

 and are able to withstand the 

 most severe conditions and 

 enormous crops quickly.

Now It's Easier than Ever 

 to Grow Strawberries 



Years of experimenting have con- 

 vinced growers that Pot-grown Straw- 

 berry 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 variety. 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 especially recommend our Home Garden Collection — 

 offered on page 10. 



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. 



When to Plant 



For best results pot-grown plants should be planted from 

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