STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
HOW TO GROW STRAWBERRIES 
There is no trick about growing the best strawberries in any ordinary garden 
soil. Now you can buy strong, well-rooted plants, guaranteed to reach you in 
perfect condition for about half the usual nurserymen’s prices direct from our 
farms. 
Plants should be set about 18 inches apart each way in a small garden, or in 
rows 5 ft. apart and the plants 1 ft. apart for field culture. This would require 
8,700 plants to the acre or a trifle over 50 plants to the rod of land. With good 
care one may expect one pint of fruit to the plant. Some varieties have yielded 
10 to 15,000 quarts per acre. 
Spring planting is best. Spread out the roots in setting out plants, water them 
thoroughly and pack down firmly. Cut runners after blooming time, to strengthen 
the plants and increase size of the berries. Plants will usually bear 3 to 5 years. 
Note—Prices quoted are prepaid to 3rd zone only (300 miles). Shipments 
beyond go at purchaser’s risk and expense. 
"WAYZATA" -World’s Best Everbearer 
From a single plant, discovered in 1924, in an experimental plot of the Minne¬ 
tonka district, the now famous ‘‘Wayzata” Strawberry was developed. 
It took years of selection and development from the single plant to produce 
the new ‘‘Wayzata’’ Strawberry, now recognized as the outstanding introduction. 
The ‘‘Wayzata’’ is a hardy, disease and frost resistant variety— produces a late 
fall crop equal to the best June berries. Growers everywhere have become interest¬ 
ed and all available plants were sold at good prices. 
The berries are glossy red, of good size, firm texture, coreless and have a fine, 
mild flavor. Their attractive appearance makes them sell readily on the market 
and Twin City fruit dealers have been unable to supply the demand for this berry. 
Without question the ‘‘Wayzata” berry will develop a new market for fall 
strawberries and make wonderful profits for growers. It is also an ideal canning 
berry. 
The ‘‘Wayzata” will make more vigorous growth in a shorter period of time 
than any Everbearing variety grown. If set early in spring, there is always a 
good crop of runners early in July — they will be loaded with fruit by the begin¬ 
ning of August. This new berry has a tendency to grow numerous crowns from 
a single root and each crown is always loaded with blossom stems. This is the 
outstanding characteristic of the ‘‘Wayzata’’ and is what makes it a heavy bearer. 
(See color illustration pages 38-39.)

summer into late fall, you can enjoy these large, fine-flavored berries.

350 to 400 16-qt. cases per acre have been reported by growers—15

One hundred plants will supply the average family with berries 
throughout the season and allow plenty for canning besides.
