SET STRAWBERRY PLANTS EARLY 
Set strawberry plants early—just as soon as the ground can be worked. 
The natural time to set all plants is in the early spring. Everything in na- 
ture takes on new life at this time, and your plants will do much better 
planted then than at any other time. 
The plants are dormant during the winter and just start putting out new 
foliage and will stand handling better than at any other time; also there is 
much less foliage and can be packed in much smaller packages and trans- 
portation charges will be less. 
Plants set in early spring, before the sun gets hot, will enable them to 
get started much earlier. Then, there is plenty of moisture at this time, 
something every plant must have to live, insuring a good stand, if properly 
set and enables plant to get a good start before the dry weather sets in. 
Be sure to set your plants early this spring. I would advise ordering 
plants shipped early about 10 days or two weeks before you intend planting, 
and you can heel them in and have them there ready to set when the weather 
is just right for setting. .
