Why You Should Buy Your Wayzata Plants 
From Me. 
I grow no other variety of strawberry (nor other nursery 
stock) so there will be no mixture of plants in your order. 
These plants have all been cared for in the way of fer¬ 
tilization for berry production, well cultivated and irrigated 
with no dry weather setbacks. Each plant is well devel¬ 
oped and ready to put out a large crop the iirst year. 
My plants are runner plants from 1937 settings, no old 
crowns or crown divisions. Do not let anyone tell you 
that a year old crown (which are being offered by some 
growers) will do as well as runner plants. 
My plant stock is State inspected and certified by the 
State of Minnesota and has been on certified list for past 
lour seasons. 
i pack your order right and guarantee it to reach in 
good setting condition. 
1 have built a reputation selling Wayzata plants and in 
cider to maintain that reputation I cannot ship anything 
but the very best.

HINTS ON GROWING OF THE WAYZATA 
STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
The first consideration in setting a patch of Wayzata Straw¬ 
berry plants is the lay of your land, and the condition of your 
soil. For any Everbearing one should avoid low, marshy 
ground, as these are the first to get early frosts. Fall plowing 
has proved to be of great benefit for raising strawberry plants. 
It is necessary to have a great amount of humus in the soil, 
either in legume crops or barnyard manure plowed under. 
It will always be profitable to add commercial fertilizer to 
any strawberry patch. Nitrogen and Phosphate being the 
two most needed. This can be applied, either before setting, 
or along the row system, after the plants show new growth. 
This can be used in amounts of from ten to twenty pounds 
each to the 100 feet of row. If applied after setting, it is best 
to put it on equal applications 15 to 20 days apart, being care¬ 
ful not to get it on the foliage, or closer than three to four 
inches from the plants. This can be broadcasted and hoed 
into the soil, or drilled along the sides of the row, with one 
of the many fertilizing machines. 
In setting strawberry plants, your ground should be worked 
down to a good seed bed, either planked or rolled to firm the 
top of the soil. Rows should be spaced from two and one half 
to four feet, depending on the requirements of the individual 
grower. Plants may be set from 12 to 14 inches apart in the 
row. The plants should be pruned down to a single crown, 
removing all but two or three of the center leaves, and the 
roots trimmed to a length of two and a half to three inches. 
It is best to use a setting trowel, making hole big enough for 
your root spread, setting your plants with the top of the root
