STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Lots of 100 and 250 postpaid. Lots of 500 and 1,000 f.o.b. Salisbury, Md. No order filled for less than 100 plants. 
We have arranged to supply limited quantities of Strawberry 
Plants to our customers direct from Maryland. If you want 
Strawberries, the proper thing is to put out stock plants in Janu¬ 
ary, February, and March, and from the runners, they produce 
plants for setting from June to the middle of October. Runners 
or plants produced by the settings in June and July can be used 
in September and October plantings. 
Strawberry Plants are hard to get started and when received 
be sure that you do not allow the roots to become dry. 
Make rows 2 % to 3 feet apart, and, where planted in single 
rows, the bed can be 1% feet wide, or, if set in double rows, 
make bed 2 feet wide and 16 inches between the rows. Make 
earlier plantings in single rows, as it takes lots of work to keep 
the plants clean during the rainy season, which is much easier 
in single rows; but for the later plantings, many use double rows. 
Do not double the roots. Make holes deep enough to set the 
roots straight, and put plant in up to crown, but be sure you do 
not cover the crown. Press the soil firmly around the roots and 
water each plant for several days, preferably in the late afternoon. 
Strawberries can be fertilized either before or after planting. 
We prefer to get 600 to 1,000 pounds of fertilizer per acre under 
them at the time of setting. Wizard sheep manure is fine for first 
application. The first two applications of commercial fertilizer 
should be two to three weeks apart, of high-grade Vegetable or 
Strawberry Grower, and your third application of high-grade fer¬ 
tilizer, as soon as the plants begin to fruit, and on account of 
the long fruiting period the fourth application of high-grade fer¬ 
tilizer about five to six weeks after the third application. 
If the land that is to be set in berries has any indication of 
being sour or acid, apply hardwood ashes at the rate of 1,000 to 
2,000 pounds per acre, about three weeks before setting plants. 
The Missionary variety is planted exclusively throughout the 
Plant City territory, having been found most satisfactory. Our 
plants are in Maryland, and when the order reaches there the 
ground may be frozen and it may be a week before the plants 
can be dug; therefore, figure on ten to fifteen days to make de¬ 
livery, but, of course, we always take pleasure in making deliv¬ 
ery as promptly as humanly possible. 
Missionary Strawberry Plants Postpaid —100 plants 85c; 250 plants $1.35. Not prepaid—500 plants $1.50; 
- 1000 plants $2.85; 5000 plants or more, $2.75 per 1000. F. 0. B. Salis¬
