I guarantee all plants to be true to name, fresh dug, full pS ms 
and to reach you in good growing condition, if they are not as good as 
you expected them to be, return the plants at once and I will return 
your remittance in full, including transportation charges. You as my ~ 
customer must be satisfied that you have received a fair deal and ~ 
full value for your money. 
However, on account of care and weather conditions, I cannot be = 
responsible for plants after once planted. | 
PLANTING AND CULTIVATION | 
If the weather is warm when you receive your plants, ‘unpack AT = 
ONCE, and put them in a cool place, cover with damp bags, but DO 
NOT put water on the plants, until you are ready to plant them, (Ties 
is a good plan to puddle them before planting. I think it is a good idea | 
to cut about one third of the roots off before planting, for the reason ~ 
it makes planting easier. The roots will not turn up and be exposed 
to the wind, which is very important. To set plants, use a trowel or ~ 
a square pointed shovel, make a hole sufficiently large so that the 
‘roots can be placed without bunching or turning up, press the soil — 
firmly around the plant being careful not to cover up the crown. 
Cultivate and hoe the same as any ordinary garden crop. Blossoms 
should be kept picked off of everbearing varieties until about July — 
Ist. co 
Strawberries like a good fertile soil, preferably a piece of soil * 
which had an application of manure, and a cultivated and hoed crop, ~ 
the summer before, never plant on a sod, nine times out of ten it will — é 
be a failure. ee 
It requires about 8,000 plants per acre, when planted 15 ‘inches: =? 
x 48 inches. ; 
All of my plants are of the perfect flower varieties and do not 4 
require pollenizing. There will be no difference in the yield whether 
you plant one or more varieties.
