anywhere.

a living wage. Why pay more? 
Cash with order. No goods sent until paid for. 
All stock is offered subject to prior sale, or failure of the crop. 
We want to satisfy every reasonable demand and will do anything within 
reason, but it is understood that we are not liable for a greater amount than 
original cost of plants or bulbs.

STRAWBERRIES 
AND HOW TO GROW THEM 
Almost any kind of soil if made fertile with manure, fertilizer or green crops turned under, 
will grow some variety of Strawberry. 
Avoid sod or grassy land and NEVER use lime or wood ashes on Strawberries. 
Dig or plow in spring as early as possible. Pulverize the soil with drag or hand rake. 
For field culture mark rows 3% to 4 feet apart and set the plants, with all the roots buried 
and just the crown and leaves above the surface, from 14 to 30 in. apart, according to variety. 
For garden culture plants may be set closer. Begin to hoe or cultivate the ground soon after 
planting as weeds should not be allowed to grow. 
In field culture I think it is best to let the runners grow until you have a matted row 
say a foot to 18 inches wide. For the garden where space is limited it may pay to plant 
close, say 16 inches each way, and keep all runners removed. 
Everbearing Strawberries after setting, need all flowers removed until July or August. 
Some varieties of strawberries are suitable to your soil, if you do not know and your 
ncdghbors cannot tell you the variety suitable, experiment with a few of each kind until 
you find the right one, then stick to it until you find something better. 
Some sections need winter protection, for this strawy horse manure is best but bailed 
straw, leaves, etc., is very good. 
Big money is made each year by some one, somewhere, with strawberries, $500 and more 
per acre is often realized. Your chance is as good. Anyhow grow some for your own use. They 
are mighty nice and with the Everbearers you can have big luscious berries nearly all summer. 
Dear Sir: Hampshire Co., Mass., May 22, 1934. 
Your strawberry plants have arrived G. K. With thanks, and will you 
please ship me 300 Charleston Wakefield cabbage plants, and 100 Marglobe 
tomato plants. Yours truly, O. A. Thans. 
Dear Sir: Tioga Co., N. Y., May 17, 1934. 
Will you please send me some more plants? Your plants come before 
I’ve given up hope and forgotten and filled up all the space with something 
else—which is why I want some more—and they are good plants besides. 
Although this climate is somewhat more severe than that of Delaware, your 
pansies have gone through several frezes with perfect equanimity.

Dear Sirs: Erie Co., Pa., May 10, 1934. 
Shipment of plants ordered, received in first class condition, and am very 
well pleased with quality. It was a pleasant surprise to find on opening, 
such wonderful plants. Shall always bear you in mind when I want plants 
and shall tell my friends of your great values along this line. 
Prof. George E. Kulp.
