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 hut 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 
system on a level with the ground, being careful not to cover 
the crown with dirt. The WAYZATA has a habit of putting up 
more than one crown, and if these crowns appear before the 
plants si;art runnering, they should be pruned back to a single 
crown. This will encourage runner growth. We have found 
that it is absolutely necessary to have a good, even set of run¬ 
ners on all plants. It is not necessary or advisable to prune 
vonr plants after first runner laid has appeared. This sounds 
like a trying piece of work, but as there is more or less work 
to lie done in anv strawberry patch, it only takes but very 
little time, when boeing or removing blossom stems to prune 
down a plant that shows signs of stooling. All blossom stems 
should lie removed for a period of about sixty days, in order 
to get a. maximum crop of both runners and fruit.
