Three Great Secrets Of 
Successful Strawberry Culture 
1. Fully Prepare Your Soil Before Setting To Strawberry Plants. 
If possible, apply barnyard manure, or plow under green forage 
crops the year before setting. 
2. Order Your Strawberry Plants From A Reliable Nursery. 
Order your plants from a nursery, which will ship you carefully 
grown, true to name, disease free plants. 
3. Set Your Plants Out Early. Set your plants out as soon as 
freezing is over. Early setting is a guarantee of a good start. A 
good start is half the battle. 
Our plants are State Inspected and Certified. A copy of the 
State Certificate of Inspection will accompany every package ship¬ 
ped by us.
