Preparation of Soil 



The bed for your plants should be dug and the soil loosened 

 to a depth of from 12 to 14 inches. If you feel that your soil 

 needs special enrichment, incorporate with it rotted leaves 

 or well rotted manure of any kind (fresh manure should be 

 avoided since it usually holas grub worms). Additional fer- 

 tilization may be afforded by scattering Bonemeal at the rate 

 of 100 lbs. to each bed 15x50 feet, raking it well into the soil. 



Where to Plant 



Plants in the home garden should be set in rows 2 feet apart, 

 with the plants 1 foot apart in each row. A bit of shade during 

 the hottest part of the day should be provided for the first 

 two or three days after the plants have been set out. However, 

 the Strawberry is a sun loving fruit, and its bed should be 

 located where it will get a minimum of six hours sunshine 

 each day. 



Rules for Strawberry Success 



The most important rule is to keep weeds out of your 

 garden. Hoe your Strawberry bed once a week, not only cut- 

 ting out the weeds, but loosening the soil, preserving moisture 

 and stimulating growth. After the ground has become frozen 

 in late Fall, the plants should be mulched with light, strawy 

 manure. Care should be taken that only a light covering be 

 applied, and such protective material should never consist of 

 wet or otherwise heavy material. This covering should, of 

 course, be removed when the plants start growth in the Spring.
