READY FOR DELIVERY ABOUT JULY 16, 1908 



POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS PLANTED IN THE FALL WILL GIVE A FULL CROP THE 



FOLLOWING SEASON 



CULTURE. — Strawberries require rich, well-tilled soil ; tne plants should be set 15 

 inches apart, in rows 2 feet apart ; 100 plants will plant 4 rows, 30 feet long. Firm the 

 plants well in the soil, keep thoroughly cultivated and cut of? all runners. In the middle 

 of December cover the beds to a depth of ^ inches with salt meadow hay, straw or leaves. 

 In April as soon as the plants show an mdication of growth, push the covering away 

 from the plants to allow them to come up through. This "mulching" protects the plants 

 from the cold in winter and the heat in summer, keeps the fruit clean, and prevents the 

 growth of weeds. 



PERFECT AND PISTILLATE STRAWBERRIES. The blossoms of Straw- 

 berries are either staminate (perfect-flowering) or are destitute of stamens and are termed 

 pistillate (imperfect-flowering). Pistillate varieties must have a row of some perfect-flowering sort flowering 

 at the same time planted every 9 or 12 feet apart among them, or, better yet, every third or fourth plant in the row, to pollenize 

 their blossoms. When properly pollenized the pistillate varieties are usually the most prolific. Those marked P are perfect.

 it is midseason ; plants short and stocky ; very thrifty grower ; foliage dark green ; very prolific ; berries bright red with a long neck, very 

 firm, of long shape. Single plants set out as late as September yielded two fruit stems and each stem produced ten to fourteen perfect- 

 shaped berries."
