POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



Plant any time, up to end of September, and enjoy fine crops of delicious berries next June 



The best time to plant pot-grown Strawberry Plants is in the month of August and throughout September. 

 They have the great advantage over ordinary or "layer" plants of producing a crop of the largest and finest 

 berries the first season after planting. Further than this, they may be safely planted in the hottest and driest 

 weather without serious check to growth; and they may be planted where early potatoes, peas, or other early 

 crops have been harvested.
