The best soil you have is best for strawberries. The earliest ripening varie¬ 
ties usually do best on light soil, and late varieties on heavier. Land that has 
been in truck crops, or land that has been in cow peas the previous year is ideal 
for berries. Early setting is very important. Plants should set just as early) 
in the spring as you can get the ground in good condition as they are sure to 
live and grow better than plants set very late in the season, or, I may say, that if 
you set them very late in the season you are setting them “out of seas',on”. Re¬ 
member, you are always “taking a chance” with plants set very late in the season, 
and most of the failures in strawberry growing are caused by setting the plants 
“too late”. With good soil, good plants, early setting and good cultivation there 
is no reason why anyone should not he successful in raising a good crop of 
berries, and, as a rule recqive a good profit from the investment. 
Wishing you a prosperous, season, thanking you for your liberal patronage, 
of seasons past, and soliciting a continuance of your favors, I remain, 
Faithfully yours,,. ,
