grown Strawberries daily. 
The plants form a lovely 
border to the Barberry hedge. 
If you haven't room for Strawberries in the garden, 
• There are two kinds of Strawberries: STANDARD, or June-bearing; 
and FALL or Everbearing. They succeed anywhere in this country, on 
fertile, well-drained soil. We advise planting some of each kind. The 
standard sorts are superior in guality and flavor, and the Everbearers are 
very desirable and profitable for fall use. 
• Important in the Home Garden 
set them 12 inches apart in front of shrubs, in the 
rock garden, along walks and drives. They utilize 
space which is otherwise wasted. The leaves and 
blooms are very ornamental. The smallest yard ac¬ 
commodates several hundred plants.

Strawberry gardening is an enjoyable and profitable pastime. Perhaps 
that is why fresh strawberries have become America's favorite fruit. 
200 plants supply the average family with fresh and canned berries. 
They require only about 16x40 feet of ground. Set the plants 11/2x2 V 2 
feet in the garden, and grow them in matted rows. Where space is 
limited, plants can be set 12 inches apart each way and runners cut off 
to confine them to hills. Strawberry plants should be set only in the 
spring, during March, April and May. 
•You Can Have Berries This Year! 
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY PLANTS can be set out this spring, and 
commence to bear in July, continuing until winter. Keep the blooms 
clipped off until July 1st to induce the plants to root deeply before fruiting 
starts. Standard varieties should not be permitted to bear the first year. 
Remove all blooms, so that they will not bear until next year. 
• The Most Profitable Farm Crop! 
No other farm crop brings as great profit as Strawberries. Our customers 
report more profit from an acre of Strawberries than from 40 acres of 
other products. Yields reported in 1935 averaged about 600 16-quart 
crates per acre. At WHOLESALE PRICES, this would mean an average 
income of $900, or more, per acre. 
Strawberries grow on any fertile, well-drained soil. For field culture, set 
the plants 11/2x3 V 2 feet and grow them in matted rows, permitting all 
runners to take root until the fruiting rows are about 20 inches wide. 
"I took my own advice and planted Straw¬ 
berries," says Ralph R. Emlong. "Five 
acres of Dorsett bore over 3000 crates of 
berries in 1935. Sold at WHOLESALE for 
$5,250.00. Yes, Strawberries pay." 
A field of Emlong Strawberry plants owned 
by D. Hall, Omaha, Nebr. A clipping from 
the Omaha Bee-News reports that this 5- 
Acre plot yielded a $10,000.00 crop in 29 
days. Mr. Hall says Emlong plants do best 
in Nebraska!
