How fo Plant Strawberries 
Plant Strawberries in good, rich, well-drained soil 
the crown of the plant when set should be at the 
surface of the ground. Tamp the earth firmly around 
the roots, leaving a thin layer of loose soil at the 
top of the ground to prevent baking. For distance 
apart to set the plants, see page 46. It will take 
about 8,000 spring-bearing plants to the acre, or 10,000 
everbearing plants. Keep ground clean and well cul- 
tivated. It is best to keep blossoms and runners on 
the everbearing varieties pinched off until the middle 
of July. In late fall, when the ground is frozen down 
an inch or two, cover with clean straw, leaves, or 
cornstalks, and do not uncover too early in sp:
