Strawberry Plants 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Late March or April is the chosen time 
to plant strawberries. Fall planting usu¬ 
ally is a complete failure. Plant early to 
avoid failure. 
Strawberries respond to good soil, and 
you should choose a fertile location or garden plot, free 
of sod and weeds, as white grubs invariably follow these. 
Prepare the ground very thoroughly. 
The rows should be drawn three and a half to four feet 
apart on strong ground and the plants set fifteen to twenty 
inches apart in the row. 
PLANTING 
In planting, shorten the roots one-third, dip into a thin 
mud so as to cover each rootlet with a film of soil. Place 
in the ground, roots fan shaped, with the crown at the 
ground level, and make solid by pressing firmly. If planted 
too shallow they will dry out, and if too deep they will 
rot. Watering after planting is advisable if the soil is dry. 
Remove some of the foliage before planting to prevent 
evaporation. 
CULTIVATION 
For summer care keep the ground constantly stirred 
and free of weeds. Moisture preservation by dust mulch 
will conserve the vitality of your plants and produce a fine 
matted row. Keep the hoe and cultivator busy. 
Winter protection by mulching with clean straw after 
the ground is frozen is advised. Do not apply too heavily 
and smother the plants. Leave on during the fruiting sea¬ 
son, as it conserves moisture and keeps the berries clean.
