ALLEN’S STRAWBERRY PLANT CATALOGUE. 
Our four mule disc harrow following the plows preparing the land for 
strawberry plants. This harrowing is lapped over half way every time which 
makes two complete harrowings and leaves the soil thoroughly worked up 
and almost perfectly level. Following this harrowing the land is next spread 
with 12 to 15 tons of stable manure per acre which is left on top. About two 
weeks be!ore we are ready to set plants the single plow is brought in use to run 
out the rows. Straight furrows are made about 2 to 2$ inches deep in which 
about 600 ibs per acre of “Maces orange tree ” or some other good fertilizer is 
put in this lurrow with a McWhorter fertilizer distributor. Following this the 
cultivator with three li or li inch blades only (the other two shanks and all 
being taken off) are run once each way in the furrow to thoroughly mix the 
feritlizer in the foil. Now the tingle plow is brought in use again and a 6mall 
list made over this furrow which in turn is raked off with a potato fork or drug 
off with a small spike harrow so this row or bed will be about level after the 
first cultivation, and we have an ideal bed for setting strawberry plants, which 
on this farm is always done by hand as we have never found any machinery 
that would do the work satisfactorily.
