 :s may l)e put into the ground at any time during late 

 1 hey will produce bigger crops of bigger berries than

 nitted. 



Pre-Planting Instructions 



Upon the arrival of your pLants, unpack them at once, and 

 place them m a shady spot, sprinkling them lightly with water. 



As evening approaches, take them where 

 the ground is prepared to plant, and 

 just before puttmg them in this ground, 

 dip each root ball in a pail of water. 



Preparation of Soil 



The bed for your plants should be 

 dug and thoroughly cultivated to a 

 depth of 12 to 14 inches. 

 Incorporate with the soil 

 rotted leaves or well rotted 

 manure of any kind (fresh 

 rnanure should be avoided, 

 since it usually holds grub 

 worms). After cultivating the 

 bed, scatter Bonemeal at the 

 rate of 100 lbs. to each bed (15x50 

 feet), raking it well into the surface. 



Where to Plant 



In the home garden plants should be set in rows 

 2 feet apart with the plants 1 foot apart in the 

 row. For the first 2 or 3 days after these plants 

 have been set out, it will be well to shade them in 

 some manner during the hottest part of the day. 

 They should, however, get a minimum of six 

 hours of sunshine, which minimum must be kept 

 in mind when Strawberry beds are located. 



A Bit of Care Is Essential 



The most important rule for success is to keep 

 weeds out of your garden. Go over the Strawberry 

 bed once a week with a good sharp hoe, which will 

 not only cut these weeds, but will also loosen your soil, preserve 

 moisture and stimulate growth. When Fall frosts approach 

 the p ants should be mulched with coarse manure. Care should 

 be taken that only a light covering be applied and the covering 

 should never consist of wet or otherwise heavy material.
