LAKEVIEW STRAWBERRY FARMS, STEVENSVILLE, MICHIGAN 5 
Plant Northern Grown Stock 
Our plants are Browing in popularity every year 
simply because they are hardier and more produc- 
tive than plants that are grown in milder climates. 
Our nursery is located near the east shore of Lake 
Michigan, and the warmth from this large body 
of water lengthens our tall growing weather which 
contributes largely to the splendid root system of 
our plants. Our soil is a rich sandy loam that 
produces exceptionally strong-rooted plants. Our 
rich soil produces plants that are naturally strong 
and full of vitality, and consequently they can 
stand more hard knocks than plants that are pro- 
duced by the excessive use of fertilizers. 
During the winter months our plants are abun- 
dantly mulched with snow, giving them natural 
protection from the cold and frosts. They are sel- 
dom exposed to zero weather, but at the same time 
they are grown far enough north to harden them 
well and provide them with sufficient vitality to 
grow and produce enormous amounts of fruit. 
Plants grown in milder climates are subject to 
freezing and thawing weather which is very in- 
jurious to the roots. 
The best time to plant strawberries or other fruit 
is in April and the first part of May. Our plants 
are dormant at that season of the year, and are 
in much better condition for planting than plants 
that are grown in the South or East, quite often 
these plants will have blossoms and berries on 
Ihem by planting time, and are then in no condi- 
tion for planting with any degree of safety. 
We receive a number of orders from the South 
every season, and our customers report that our 
plants do much better for them than plants bought 
from Southern Nurseries.

Gentlemen : 
The 16,600 Strawberry plants arrived last night. 
As usual they are strictly first class and in Al 
condition. Your method of packing is perfect. 
I could have bought the plants nearer home some- 
what cheaper, but I have always received extra 
good stock from you and was willing to pay the 
difference in cost. One of my neighbora was look- 
ing over my patch the other day. He said it had 
everything skinned in the neighborhood. I told 
him I had bought the plants of you, and he wants 
your catalog as he wants to try your plants. You 
can look for a lot more business from here next 
year. Yours very truly, 
C. W. HILL.

Number of Plants Required 
to Set One Acre 
You can easily find how many plants it will re- 
quire to plant one acre by using the following rule: 
Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by 
the distance the plants are apart in the row, and 
the product will be the number of square feet for 
each plant. This number divided into the number 
square feet in an acre (43,660) will give the num- 
ber of plants to the acre. 
Distance for Planting 
Strawberries, 16 inches apart in the row with the 
rows four feet apart, requiring about 7,000 plants 
per acre. 
Red Raspberries. Three feet apart in row with 
the rows six feet apart, requiring about 2,426 
plants per acre. 
Black Raspberries and Blackberries, three and 
one-halt feet apart in the row with the rows seven 
feet apart. Requiring about 1,725 plants per acre.
