STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Lots of 100 and 250 postpaid. Lots of 500 and 1000 
f.o.b. Maryland and Arkansas. No order filled for less 
than 100 plants. 
We supply Maryland and Arkansas grown strawberry stock 
plants direct from our nurseries in those states. These Northern 
grown stock or mother plants should be ordered and set out in 
multiplication beds in Florida during January, February and 
March. In these multiplication beds the Northern grown stock 
plants are allowed to produce runners with young plants which 
young plants are set in the permanent field from June to the 
middle of October. In the Plant City, Florida section, most of 
the plants are set in the permanent fields during September 
and early October. When these stock plants are received, care 
should be exercised never to allow the roots to dry out, either 
before or after setting the plants in the beds. 
Strawberry plants may be planted in rows 2 Y 2 to 3 feet apart, 
for single rows, or 4 to 5 feet apart for double rows, allowing 
16 inches between the double rows on each bed and 12 to 
14 inches between plants in the row. For early planting single 
rows are preferred, because it makes much less labor to keep 
the beds clean of weeds during the long, rainy season, but for 
late planting, double rows are generally preferred. 
In setting strawberry plants, care should be exercised to 
avoid doubling the roots. Holes should be made deep enough 
to set the roots straight. Plants should be set so that the sur¬ 
face soil comes just to the crown. If the crown is covered, the 
plant is liable to rot, and if set too shallow, the plant will topple 
over and not become well established. Soil should be well 
firmed around the roots, and during dry weather each plant 
should be watered daily for several days after setting, prefer¬ 
ably in the late afternoon. 
If the land to be set to berries is very sour or acid, apply 1000 
to 1500 pounds of hardwood ashes per acre before setting plants. 
Wizard Brand Sheep Manure is very desirable for starting 
berry plants, applying the manure at the rate of about 1000 
pounds per acre under the plants at time of setting, mixing it 
well into the soil. After the plants are well established, three or 
four successive applications of high grade commercial fertilizer 
(4-7-5) should be given the plants at about monthly intervals, 
being sure to make one application when the plants begin to 
set fruit. 
The Missionary variety is planted almost exclusively through¬ 
out Florida. This variety has been found most satisfactory. 
Our stock plants are grown in Maryland and Arkansas where, 
at times during January, February and March, the ground may 
be frozen, which would require a week or longer to thaw suf- 
ficently to dig the plants for shipment. For this reason, it may 
require ten days to two weeks after receiving your order before 
we can make delivery, but in all instances delivery is made as 
quickly as possible after orders for plants are received by us.
