STRAWRERRY PLANTS 



The ground should be prepared the same as for other crops; if not al- 

 ready rich, make it so by manuring. Mark out the rows the desired width, and 

 set plants ten to seventeen inches distant in the rows; if set twelve inches in 

 rows four feet apart, an acre will require 10,890 plants; 'same as if set sixteen 

 inches in rows three feet apart. 



In early winter when the ground is frozen, cover the whole with long 

 straw, which should be removed from the plant in the spring, but allowed to 

 remain on the ground as a mulch, to keep the berries clean next summer. When 

 strawberries are moved in the fall, they should be left until October or the first 

 of November. 



The blossoms of all varieties marked "S" are bi-sexual or perfect, those 

 marked "P" are destitute of stamens and are termed pistillate or imperfect. 



Imperfect varieties should have a row of perfect flowered sorts planted 

 every third or fourth row to pollenize their blossoms. When imperfect blos- 

 soms are properly fertilized they are the most prolific.

AGE PLANTS 



WILL MATURE HEADS TWO TO THREE WEEKS EARLIER THAN YOUR HOME-GROWN PLANTS. 

 Varieties: Early Jersey Wakefield, Charleston Wakefield, Succession and Early Flat Dutch. 



These plants are grown in the open field during the 

 fall and winter months, which causes them to make a 

 slow, tough, hardy growth — so hardy that the outer 

 leaves turn to a reddish brown. They can be shipped to 

 distant points without danger of spoiling, and should be 

 planted in the open ground from four to five weeks ear- 

 lier than frame plants. 



They will stand a temperature of 10 to 15 degrees 

 above zero without injury. Will do very much better 

 planted early, as they will take root and start to grow as 

 soon as warm weather sets in. 



Orders filled from January 1 until April 1. We do 

 not advise planting later than this time. 



The plants when received will be somewhat wilted 

 and have a hard stunted appearance, which will be dis- 

 appointing to persons who have never used these plants 

 before. Regardless of appearance, they will produce the 

 crop results.
