1 00,000 Pot-Grown Strawberries 
c 
( OTGROWN strawberry plants are much superior to the ordinary ground 
layers usually sold, as there is no loss of fine roots in taking them up 
They can be transplanted at any season with scarcely any check to their 
growth. The sooner pot-grown plants can be set out after June 1st, the 
larger they will grow and the more they will produce the next spring. We 
only offer varieties that are considered the best of existing sorts. 
Those marked “P” have pistillate or imperfect flowers and must be planted 
near perfect-flowering kinds in order that the flower may fertilize. Varieties 
not so marked are perfect-flowering and can be planted alone. 
Brief Directions for Culture 
Strawberries require rich, well-tilled soil. The plants should be set 15 inches 
apart, in rows 2 ft. apart. 100 plants will plant 4 rows 30 ft. long, if set above 
distance apart. For horse cultivation set plants 2 ft. apart in rows 3 ft. apart. 
7,260 plants at this distance will plant an acre. Firm the plants well in the 
soil, keeping them thoroughly cultivated and cut off all runners. About the 
middle of December, cover bed with salt-meadow hay, straw or leaves. In 
April, as soon as the plants show indications of growth, push the covering 
away from the plants to allow them to come through. The mulching protects 
the plants from cold in the winter and heat in the summer, keeping the fruit 
clean and prevents the growth of weeds.
