Set the plants carefully, keep them well cultivated and fertilize well. 
Remove all blossoms from the standard varieties the year set. Remove 
them from the everbearing varieties until about the first of July. 
See that your berries are harvested and put up in the most attractive way 
possible. Good fruit carefully packed most always sells well. 
Begin hoeing and cultivating soon after the plants are set. With first hoe¬ 
ing be sure to uncover the bud of all plants that may have gotten covered 
when setting or cultivating. Cultivate and hoe enough to keep the ground 
from crusting and to keep the weeds and grass down, but do not cultivate or 
hoe deep enough to disturb the roots. 
The growing of strawberries is very similar to growing other farm crops 
and simple to set out the plants. For home garden set them 12x15 inches. It 
will require about 8,000 to 10,000 plants to set one acre, 18 by 36 inches.
