STRAWBERRIES 
We grow and sell the kinds which do well in Ken¬ 
tucky. Use Hillenmeyer's Tried and Tested Plants. 
All varieties listed are perfect flowering. 
PREMIER 
One of the most popular Strawberries ever introduced. Good 
plant maker, frost resistant and prolific. The bright red berries 
are large, bluntly conical, of good quality and hold up in size to 
the very end if the season is favorable. The leading berry for mar¬ 
ket or home. No variety ever tested has been so deservedly popular 
and we recommend it as the best early and midseason kind. 
BLAKEMORE 
Ripens a few days before Premier. Berries light red, conical and 
will remain firm a few days after ripening. Excellent for commercial 
or home use. Productive, good plant maker, and will do well on 
rather poor soil. Our plants are the Yellows-free Strain. Plant 
Blakemore for profit. 
GANDY 
Still the best late berry. Robust plants with fruit on strong stems, 
blossoming exceedingly late and thus frequently missing frosts that 
often kill the early bloomers. Conical berries with large caps, firm 
and rather acid. Excellent for preserving, canning or shipping. 
Prefers a moist clay soil. 
Cultural Directions for 
Strawberries 
WHEN PLANTS ARE RECEIVED. Plont at once if possible. If 
season is not favorable put in cool, moist place, BUT DO NOT 
WATER. They also may be unpacked and trenched in open 
ground. 
DORSETT 
WHEN TO PLANT. Late March or April is the chosen time. Fall planting 
usually results in a complete failure. 
One of the most satisfactory varieties that has been introduced 
in years. Its high quality, bright colored berries with light red flesh 
are excellent both for home and local market purposes. Ripens a 
few days after Premier, and while by some is thought better, we are 
not yet ready to give it preference. It is a good plant maker. 
FAIRFAX 
Of highest quality and ripens about a week after Premier. Berries 
bluntly conical, dull red, yellow or greenish seed and dark red flesh. 
Juicy, firm and a fine home berry. It so overlaps Aroma and so 
much better quality we have discontinued growing the latter variety. 
Our prices permit you to make selection of any variety listed, 
except Gem. This is important when comparing prices. 
SOIL. Strawberries respond to good soil and you should choose a fertile 
location. However, do not plant immediately after turning under sod, 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. It requires 
about 7000 plants per acre. 
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 in fall or early winter 
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. Immediately 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 two or three years. 
FAMILY REQUIREMENTS. About three hundred, five hundred, or a thousand 
plants are required for a small, medium, or large family.
