Growing strawberries for best rei 

 start by usinc '$ Winning Plants, 



the following rigid schedule. As a b< 

 these things but you should insist the 

 can realize most of lefits fron 



stock every year or two. 



Here are the things we must do to qualify for the registered label which 

 means so much to you as a grower: 



1. Planting stocks from virus free sources must be used. 



2. Virus free stock must be kept virus free. This requires 12 to 14 dustings to kill 

 the aphis which is the carrier of the virus organism. 



3. This superior stock must be grown in fields isolated from varieties where virus 

 free plants are not yet available and from other fields of ordinary plants in the 

 community. 



4. Provide a screen house from which constantly a basic stock of indexed virus 

 free plants may come. 



5. Soil fumigation to control or eliminate root nematodes. Nemagon is the material 

 used, as that has been found to be the most effective fumigant to date for nema- 

 tode control. Our plant fields are all fumigated twice during the growing season. 

 This is costly but well worthwhile for users of strawberry plants. 



6. The use of abundant plant food. We use about 1500 pounds per acre to keep 

 them growing at their best. 



7. A minor element mixture is added to the fertilizer to avoid the possibility of 

 any weakness resulting from any minor element deficiency. 



8. Chlorodane is added to the fertilizer to kill ants, cutworms, grubworms, etc. 

 which might kill or weaken the plants. 



9. Constant inspection to make sure that planting stock is free from red stele and 

 that the soil in which they are to be planted is also clean. 



10. With ALLEN'S PLANTS you get all the above plus the benefit of our specializa- 

 tion and experience. We grow no other nursery product and we have been growing 

 and shipping fine strawberry plants for 78 years. We believe this means much 

 to you as a grower. 



Anson Co. N. C. Apr. 18, 1962. "I have ordered 

 plants from you in previous years and have 

 always received them in excellent condition. 

 How do you grow such a good root system? 

 When folks inquire at our office about a good 

 source of plants I always recommend Allen's. 

 Keep up the good work." HAROLD R. LINE- 

 BERGER, Ass't. County Agricultural Agent.
