Planting and Growing STRAWBERRIES 
Land intended for Strawberries should be well subdued for a year or so before the plants are put in. 
Do not plant Strawberries on the same land formerly used for an old bed until it has been cultivated in 
other crops for two or three years. Plant in the spring. The matted row is the only practical commercial 
system, though the hedge system has been 
used by some successful growers. This 
system undoubtedly produces the finer berries, 
though it requires more work. The hill 
system is suitable for gardens, where the 
plants are for recreation and entertainment 
rather than for the value of the berries they 
produce. When planting by the matted-row 
system, put the plants in rows 3 to 4 feet 
apart, and 15 to 24 inches apart in the rows. 
Allow them to runner all summer, and by fall 
you will have a thick row as wide as you per¬ 
mit the runners to set crowns. This should 
not be more than 12 to 15 inches. A cutter 
on the cultivator will clip the ends of runners 
that grow too wide. Old beds may be turned 
over, then all of the matted rows but about 
6 inches at the centers ought to be turned 
down with a land-side plow. Go over the 
remaining plants with a hoe, and cut out all 
that have borne fruit, leaving the remaining 
young plants 6 or 8 inches apart. Then level 
off the plowed surface between the rows with 
a fine-toothed cultivator, and mulch the 
whole surface in the fall. North of southern 
Pennsylvania, mulches are necessary to 
protect plants from cold, as well as to keep 
the berries out of the dirt, but south of that 
the straw should not be put on till spring. 
Harrison Strawberry plants are the best 
that can be produced. If you have never 
bought any from us, include some with 
your order for trees, and we know you will 
be pleased with their quality as well as you

Leading varieties. For the convenience of our customers who may not be entirely familiar with the 
best and most profitable varieties, we have printed the names of such sorts in heavy type. In making 
your selection, it will pay you to choose from among those varieties. 
Varieties marked “Per.” are staminate, and will produce fruit without other sorts planted with them; 
those marked “Imp.” are pistillate, and will not produce fruit unless some “Per.” sort is planted with them! 
The rule is, two rows of “Imp.” sorts and one of “Per.” 
Aroma. Per. Late. Strong, sturdy plants; abun¬ 
dant crops nearly always, even when weather and 
soil are unfavorable. Berries large, conical or 
round, regular; glossy red; quality excellent. 
I m P* Medium early. Large size and 
-———handsome color are its valuable char¬ 
acteristics. ^Berries thick, meaty, fine-grained, 
often weighing an ounce and a quarter each. 
Plants thrive in any soil and in any section, and 
Bubach Strawberry, continued 
have stout crowns, with very short stems. The 
planter with a good field of Bubach has a veritable 
gold mine, as it is the most profitable berry of its 
season,_ and can be placed in market in a most 
attractive way, and it invariably brings the high¬ 
est prices. If you are worrying about the mort¬ 
gage, or if you want to realize the fun of making 
money by growing fruit, plant Bubach.
