October “Wayzata” Strawberries.—Mpls. Journal Photo. 
What the Minn. Fruit Growers’ Assn. Secretary Thinks of 
the “Wayzata” Strawberry. 
“I have talked with many fruit growers who have grown 
this Strawberry. The opinion is that the “Wayzata” is 
much superior in quality and appearance to other Ever- 
bearing Strawberries. It appears to be outstanding and is 
likely to be of considerable commercial value to growers on 
account of its excellent shipping qualities.”—J. D. Winter, 
Secretary. 
MASTODON EVERBEARER 
In three months you can have large berries ready to serve, 
and enjoy them until late fall. Color is a beautiful red, 
quality firm but juicy and of rich flavor. 
Mastodon is an excellent yielder and 100 plants will supply 
the average family, with plenty allowed for canning besides. 
This is the most popular low priced Everbearer, though not as 
good a market berry as Wayzata. Price: 25 for 70c, 50 for 
$1.00, 100 for $1.85, prepaid. Not prepaid, 500 for $6.00, 
1,000 for $11.50. 
STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
7000 plants for an acre. Set in rows 4 ft. apart—plants 1ft. apart in the rows. 
_ Soil-;—Plow or spade the land deeply in fall and leave in ridges over winter—• 
in spring work thoroughly, until finely pulverized. 
Plants—Unpack as soon_ as received and submerge the roots in water. When 
planting, carry the plants in pails of water, as exposure of roots to sun and wind 
is fatal. Remove all dead leaves and runners. Cut back roots, leaving them 4 
inches long. 
Planting—Spread roots out in fan shape, hanging down to their full length. 
Set crowns level with the soil surface—if set deeper the plants will rot; if 
shallower, the roots will dry out. Press the soil firmly against the roots. Water 
each plant after planting. 
Cultivation—Give frequent shallow cultivation to keep the weeds down and the 
top soil loose. Remove all runners. 
Mulching—Mulch plants 4-6 inches deep with clean straw in fall after the 
ground has frozen hard. Remove mulch from plants in spring but leave it between 
the rows to conserve moisture, smother out weeds and keep the fruit clean.

RE- 
SISTANT 
From a single plant, discovered in an experimental plot of the 
Minnetonka district, the now famous “Wayzata” Strawberry was 
developed. 
It took years of selection to produce the new “Wayzata” 
Strawberry, now recognized as the outstanding introduction. 
The “Wayzata” is a hardy, disease and frost resistant variety 
—produces a late fall crop equal to the best June berries. 
The berries are glossy red, of good size, firm texture, core¬ 
less and have a fine, mild flavor. Their attractive appearance 
makes them sell readily on the market and Twin City fruit dealers 
have been unable to supply the demand for this berry. It is 
also an ideal canning berry. 
The “Wayzata” will make more vigorous growth in a shorter 
period of time than any Everbearing variety grown. If set early 
in spring, there is always a good crop of runners early in July 
—they will be loaded with fruit by the beginning of August. 
This new berry has a tendency to grow numerous crowns from a 
single root and each crown is always loaded with blossom stems. 
This is the outstanding characteristic of the “Wayzata” and is 
what makes it a heavy bearer. (See color illustration on page 39.)

Helps For Strawberry Growers 
Do not plant Strawberries on newly plowed 
sod land—white grubs and wireworms are com¬ 
mon there, and will destroy the roots. 
After turning sod, plant to vegetable crops for 
two years previous to setting out berry plants, 
giving clean cultivation so that grubs will be 
killed. 
Manure should be applied to crops grown 
before the berries, so that weeds have been de¬ 
stroyed by tillage and the manure rotted into 
humus. 
Crop Rotation is essential. After fruiting two 
years set out a new bed, turn the soil, plant to 
vegetables for two years, applying fertilizer be¬ 
fore planting. Then follow again by strawberries 
for another two years.
