BAKER NURSERIES 
GOOD STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
In making your plans for planting you will without a doubt be very 
careful to obtain the right kind of plants; for who wants to plant a 
field to strawberry plants, spend good money cultivating and caring 
for it, unless he feels sure that the results will be satisfactory? 
How are you going to determine whether or not you are getting 
plants that will give you satisfaction? All men know that a first-class 
plant should be healthy stock and well rooted. But in selecting a first- 
class plant the grower must have more from which to choose than 
what the eye alone can see. To be first-class in every way, a plant 
must be grown right, dug right, and packed right. 
To be grown right, a plant should be a good, strong, healthy plant, 
planted in the right kind of soil, and have continuous cultivation with 
plenty of moisture and sunshine. We have, by using this method, 
produced a plant that is in many ways far superior to the usual run of 
plants. It goes without question that our soil and climatic conditions 
produce plants that are as good as can be grown anywhere. 
Plants to be dug right. We use a digger made for this purpose, 
digging deep and getting all the roots. We also dig the entire row as 
we go, which insures you that you get a grade of plants that are far 
ahead of the plants where just the alleys or middles of the rows are 
dug. 
Packed right. We use plenty of good packing material in packing 
our plants and guarantee them to reach you in good condition. Exam¬ 
ine them upon arrival, and if they are not in good condition, heel 
them in and notify us at once. We will see that you are treated right. 
The continuous and rapid growth of our business speaks for itself.

HOW TO PLANT 
We would advise using new land when you have it. If not, any 
good well-drained soil will do. First: Flat break it, disc, harrow up in 
good shape, then bed in rows 4 feet wide, by using either a middle 
buster or breaking plow; then use a good two-horse harrow over the 
beds till you have them down to the required height; plant the plants 
about 18 inches, in row in middle of ridge; work with hoe and plow as 
often as necessary through the summer to keep clean and the soil in 
good shape. By late October you will have a fine bed of new plants.
