STRAWBERRIES 
Poteet is one of the foremost strawberry growing 
sections of the state and of the South. The soil is 
particularly adapted to this fruit and many carloads 
are shipped to northern markets during the fruiting 
season. 
We are raising a great many plants, growing them 
on new ground every year, thus insuring not only vi¬ 
gorous plants, but they are also healthy, both tops and 
roots and are therefore easily started after transplant¬ 
ing. 
To accomodate our customers in other sections we 
are raising many varieties adapted to various climatic 
conditions. 
We are this year including a few new varieties 
which we have tested and found valuable. 
r- 
Shipping season for strawberry plants starts in 
September and extends well into April. 
Remember the best plants cannot live or give sat¬ 
isfaction if they do not receive the proper care. More 
strawberry plants die after setting them out because 
they were set too deep and also because they are not 
given sufficient water than from all other causes com¬ 
bined. The heart or crown of the plant should be set 
level with the ground, not covered with earth. Plenty 
of water must be given them soon after they have 
been set out and in a day the watering must be re¬ 
peated and again two or three days later. The plants 
should be unpacked and set out soon after they have 
been received, the roots must never be exposed to the 
sun or wind and must not be allowed to become dry. 
We pack our plants in wet moss. They invariably 
arrive in good condition.
