Planting and Growing STRAWBERRIES 



Land intended for Strawberries should be well subdued for a year or so before the plants are put in. 

 Do not plant Strawberries on the same land formerly used for an old bed until it has been cultivated in 

 other crops for two or three years. Plant in the spring. The matted row is the only practical commercial 

 system, though the hedge system has been 

 used by some successful growers. This 

 system undoubtedly produces the finer berries, 

 though it requires more work. The hill 

 system is suitable for gardens, where the 

 plants are for recreation and entertainment 

 rather than for the value of the berries they 

 produce. When planting by the matted-row 

 system, put the plants in rows 3 to 4 feet 

 apart, and 15 to 24 inches apart in the rows. 

 Allow them to runner all summer, and by fall 

 you will have a thick row as wide as you per- 

 mit the runners to set crowns. This should 

 not be more than 12 to 15 inches. A cutter 

 on the cultivator will clip the ends of runners 

 that grow too wide. Old beds may be turned 

 over, then all of the matted rows but about 

 6 inches at the centers ought to be turned 

 down with a land-side plow. Go over the 

 remaining plants with a hoe, and cut out all 

 that have borne fruit, leaving the remaining 

 young plants 6 or 8 inches apart. Then level 

 off the plowed surface between the rows with 

 a fine-toothed cultivator, and mulch the 

 whole surface in the fall. North of southern 

 Pennsylvania, mulches are necessary to 

 protect plants from cold, as well as to keep 

 the berries out of the dirt, but south of that 

 the straw should not be put on till spring. 



Harrison Strawberrv plants are the best 

 that can be produced. If you have never 

 bought any from us, include some with 

 your order for trees, and we know you will 

 be pleased with their quality as well as you 

 are with the profit, or the enjoyment, from 

 the berries they produce.

Plants for shipment in the fall, Si per i,ooo, extra. 



PARCEL POST. Plants can be sent by parcel post, prepaid, at %c. per plant extra. 



Leading varieties. For the convenience of our customers who may not be entirely familiar with the 

 best and most profitable varieties, we have printed the names of such sorts in heavy type. In making 

 your selection, it will pay you to choose from among those varieties. 



Varieties marked "Per." are staminate, and will produce fruit without other sorts planted with them; 

 those marked "Imp." are pistillate, and will not produce fruit unless some "Per." sort is planted with them. 

 The rule is, two rows of "Imp." sorts and one of "Per." 



Aroma. Per. Late. Strong, sturdy plants; abun- ' Bubach Strawberry, continued 



dant crops nearly always, even when weather and 

 soil are unfavorable. Berries large, conical or 

 round, regular; glossy red; quality excellent. 

 Bubach, I m P« Medium early. Large size and 

 ■■ handsome color are its valuable char- 

 acteristics. Berries thick, meaty, fine-grained, 

 often weighing an ounce and a quarter each. 

 Plants thrive in any soil and in any section, and 



have stout crowns, with very short stems. The 

 planter with a good field of Bubach has a veritable 

 gold mine, as it is the most profitable berry of its 

 season, and can be placed in market in a most 

 attractive way, and it invariably brings the high- 

 est prices. If you are worrying about the mort- 

 gage, or if you want to realize the fun of making 

 money by growing fruit, plant Bubach.
