How to Plant 
Strawberries 
Plant Strawberries in good, rich, well-drained 
soil; the crown of the plant when set should be 
at the Surface of the ground or a trifle below it. 
Tamp the earth firmly around the roots, leaving 
a thin layer of loose soil at the top of the ground 
to prevent baking. For distance apart to set the 
plants, see page 24. It will take about 8,000 
spring-bearing plants to the acre, or 10,000 ever¬ 
bearing plants. Keep ground clean and well 
cultivated. It is best to keep blossoms and run¬ 
ners on the everbearing varieties pinched off 
until the middle of July. In late fall, when the 
ground is frozen down an inch or two, cover 
with clean straw, leaves, or cornstalks, and do 
not uncover too early in the spring. 
HORSERADISH 
The snappy relish that tastes so good in the 
springtime. Fit the soil as you would for straw¬ 
berries, and plunt with the top about 1 inch below 
the surface of the ground. 10c each; 10 for 85c. 
(If desired by parcel post, add 4c each, or 10c for 
10 roots).
