HEELINC-IN STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
PLACE bunches of plants aprainst one side of the furrow or trench from six to eight inches apart, according to the size of the 
bunches. See that the crowns of the plants are even with the top of the furrow or surface, as shown in upper illustration, 
and let the lower end of the rools ko down to the bottom of the furrow. When all of the bunches of one variety are thus placed 
in the trench, take a knife and cut the string which binds the bunch and spread out the plants as shown in the middle picture. 
You will note that the crowns of the plants remain at the surface of the soil the same as before the bunches were opened. 
The lower cut illustrates how the plants will look after the soil from opposite side of furrow is pulled in and pressed against 
the plants, which will hold the plants in ideal condition for weeks or until you are ready to set them. Heelinu-in the plants in 
this way renders it not only safe but desirable to have plants delivered early and while they are still dormant. Then the cus- 
tomer is in position to take advantage of just the right conditions for setting his plants-in short, he is in full control of the 
situation, under these circumstances, and this will ko far to insure him complete success in his work as a strawberry grower.
