HdW TO PRODUCE RECORD HARVESTS 



- , ■ - \ 



Tremendous crops of strawberries are being grown by a 

 simplified methods of controlling runner growth, soil mois- 

 ture and weeds. Known aS the sawdust mulch method, it 

 works like this: 



1.— Plants are set one foot apart with four lines of 

 plants to the row and a two foot alley between rows for 



alking. 2.— After first cultivation the area is covered 

 with a; layer of sawdust one inch thick. Weeds that grow 

 through mulch must be pulled by hand. IT IS IMPOR- 

 TANT that hoeing l^e discontinued entirely to avoid mix- 

 ing with soil. Mulch will do much toward control of weed 

 growth. 3.— Air runners are removed from plants as fast 

 as they develop, 4,—- Blossoms from newly set plants are 

 removed until early July. 5.— Sawdust mulch wJll also 

 give adequate winter protection if the one inch depth is 

 maintained. . ~ 



THIS METHOD IS RECOMMENDED WITH 

 EYEBBEARING VARIETIES ONL,Y 



STREAMLINER continues to en- 

 joy the great popularity this fine 

 strawberry deserves. But like all 

 things fine it has had many imitat- 

 ors and we fear many people have 

 obtained plants from sources that 

 did not offer the genuine STREAM- 

 LINER. 



Production of large, bright red 

 berries is excellent. This variety 

 does not set plants as freely as Gem 

 or Mastodon under adverse weather 

 conditions but usually has more 

 fruit per plant. Firm berries are 

 of excellent flavor. 



Good summer and fall crop of 

 well developed strawberries 

 accounts for the enthusiasm of 

 STREAMLINER growers. 



100 plants $5.00; 1000 plants $25.00

GEM 



OLD RELIABLE EVERBEARING MAKES A GOOD 

 PLANT BED WITH HEAVY PRODUCTION 



GEM shares the popularity spotlight with Mastodon in many areas because it sets a really 

 worthwhile fall crop if not allowed to bed too thick. It is adapted to a wider range of soils 

 than most everbearers and is often successful where others fail. Fruit sizes up well, although 

 not as large as Mastodon, but flavor is superior under adverse weather conditions. 



GEM is an amazing plant maker and can be depended upon to set runner plants that be- 

 come hardy, vigorous specimens and producers of fruit in an unusually short time. Thinning 

 of abundant runner plants will enable setting a tremendous crop. 



GEM Prices: 100 plants $5.00; 1000 plants $25.00. 75 plants for Terrace $3.90.
