PLANTS and PLANTING 
SOIL PREPARATION: The land should be 
thoroughly prepared for planting Strawberries. 
Lands that have been well prepared in growing of 
other cultivated crops may be fitted for imme' 
diate use, but if the land has lain idle for sew 
eral years or is in sod, it should be devoted to 
cultivated crops for one or two seasons to rid 
the soil of white grubs and to eradicate grass 
and weeds. 
TIME OF PLANTING: Early spring is the 
ideal time for setting the plants. The earlier the 
better after the soil can be properly prepared. 
The more abundant moisture of early spring 
favors a better stand and a vigorous growth of 
plants. 
CARE OF PLANTS: As soon as the plants 
are received, they should be immediately un¬ 
packed and either planted at once or heeled in 
until they are needed. For this purpose, a moist 
well drained spot, somewhat protected from the 
sun and wind should be selected, cut the string 
off the bunch, then spread plants out in a shal¬ 
low trench, with the crown even with the level 
of the ground. The trench is then filled in care¬ 
fully to avoid covering the crowns, and the soil 
is well firmed so that it will come in close con¬ 
tact with all the roots. Should the roots be warm 
and dry when received, they should be dipped 
in water and the plants then kept in a cool place 
for a few hours before being heeled in. When 
properly heeled in, the plants may be kept in 
good condition for two weeks or longer if nec¬ 
essary while the field is being fitted for planting, 
although the sooner they are transplanted per¬ 
manently in the field the better the results will be. 
CULTIVATION AND CARE DURING 
THE FIRST SEASON: Frequent cultivation 
and hoeing to maintain a fine surface mulch are 
important. Cultivation should start immediately 
and be repeated in from ten days to two weeks, 
or after every rain until freezing weather occurs 
in fall. The field should be absolutely free from 
weeds at that time. Late cultivation is neces¬ 
sary to destroy small weeds, which otherwise 
will grow in the fall and start quickly in spring. 
REMOVAL OF FLOWER STEMS: Soon 
after the plants are set in the field, flower stems 
are usually produced. These should be removed 
as they appear, preferably before the blossoms 
open. The production of flowers and fruit on 
the plant will greatly decrease the vigor of the 
plant. The Everbearing varieties should have 
blossoms removed until about the first of July, 
after which they are allowed to bear. 
Our Motto is: “Quality and Complete Satis¬ 
faction to Every Customer.” 
Our plants are all state inspected and ap¬ 
proved. A copy of inspection certificate is at¬ 
tached to every order. Our plants are fresh 
dug from new ground and tied 26 plants in a
