Easy to Grow 



Strawberry plants are easily grown, adapting themselves 

 as they do to a great variety of soil and chmatic conditions. 

 Even in Alaska, Strawberry^ growing is on a large, 

 commercial scale, and in our own temperate zone, 

 they will give excellent results in any substantial 

 garden soil, clay or loam, 

 that holds an abundance of 

 humus or other quickly avail- 

 able plant food. 



Your Home Garden 

 Needs Pot-Grown 

 Strawberries 



The heat and dry weather 

 of late Summer ordinarily 

 keep back the struggling field- 

 grown layer plants. Our Pot- 

 grown plants are much more 

 practical for home culture, 

 since they have been develop- 

 ed in their own soil, under the 

 best possible growing condi- 

 tions, and since the extensive 

 and fibrous root growth has 

 been so long estabfished that 



the plants will get no shock when transplanted, and are, 

 therefore, able to withstand the most severe conditions 

 and to produce mammoth crops the very first season. 



Other Pot-grown Strawberry Advantages 



Through years of experimenting. Strawberry growers 

 have become convinced that Pot-grown plants will pro- 

 duce larger crops of larger ^berries than will the field- 

 grown layer plants, excepting when the planting is done 

 in early Spring. 



You should, however, exercise care in the selection of 

 varieties. Therefore, provide for fresh Strawberries from early 

 Summer until late Fall. For the home garden at least three va- 

 rieties should be planted, one of which should be an early bear- 

 ing sort, another which bears its fruit in midseason, and third, 

 a late fruiting sort, and a dozen or more plants of each variety 

 should be selected to judge the merits of each sort. 



Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 



If planted early in the season, this class of Strawberries 

 can be depended upon to produce fruit during the Fall months 

 of the same year. 



Planting Time 



For best results. Pot-grown plants should be planted from 

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