Cultural Directions 
WHEN TO PLANT. Late March or April is the chosen time. Fall planting 
usually results in a complete failure. 
SOIL. Strawberries respond to good soil and you should choose a fertile 
location. However, do not plant immediately after turning under sc^d, 
as white grubs invariably cause trouble. Prepare the ground very 
thoroughly. 
DISTANCE TO PLANT. The rows should be three and a half to four 
feet apart and the plants set about eighteen inches in the row. 
t 
CULTIVATION. During the summer keep the ground constantly stirred 
and free of weeds. Moisture preservation by dust mulch will conserve 
the vitality of your plants and produce a fine matted row. Keep the 
hoe and cultivator busy. 
MULCHING. Protect by mulching with clean straw after the ground is 
frozen. Do not apply too heavily, as this smothers the plants. Leave 
on during the fruiting season, as it conserves moisture and keeps the 
berries clean. 
AFTER FRUITING. I mmediately plow or narrow the original row to about 
a foot. Thoroughly cultivate the middle so as to give the new plants 
a chance to get established. Repeat the second year. We do not 
advise keeping beds more than 2 or 3 years. 
FAMILY REQUIREMENTS. About three hundred, five hundred, or a 
thousand plants are required for a small, medium, or large family.

able varieties if you want to leave this to us.
