Plants For 1942 
‘and climatic conditions. J feel sure that the 
quality of my Klondike plants is unsurpassed in 
the United States. 
@ My plants have been given very careful atten- 
tion since they were set, and the same care is 
exercised in digging and packing. The plants are 
dug by experienced employees’ and placed in 
bundles, each of which contains 26 plants. The 
‘accuracy of count is insured by constant checking 
by field inspectors. The plants are then packed 
in a manner that will exclude air from the roots 
and yet expose the crowns to air. We dig around 
300,000 plants a day. 
'@ Prompt attention is given each order and care- 
ful supervision insures that they will be filled as 
nearly as possible on the desired date.

CULTURAL TIPS. 
@ Reasonably fertile, well drained soil free from 
weed and grass seeds should produce good straw- 
berries. 
e The ground should be carefully prepared as in 
the preparation of the seedbed for corn. The 
rows should be bedded in the fall with low ridges, 
three and one-half feet apart. The plants should 
be set at two and one-half foot intervals. With 
this spacing, between 4,000 and 4,500 plants are 
required for an acre. A good method of setting 
is carried on by two persons. One person uses an 
ordinary shovel and makes a hole with one stroke 
in the carefully prepared seedbed, and at the same 
time the other person places the plant in the hole 
using a slinging motion. The hole is then closed 
by pressure from the foot. Great care should be 
exercised to get all the roots covered and also 
leave the crown exposed. 
@ Frequent light cultivations are necessary for 
best results, and also frequent hoeings are needed 
both to keep down the grass and weeds and to 
place runners. 
@ Applications of fertilizers are recommended for 
use in the fall following setting and before the 
bloom period the following spring. The most 
successful time for setting is as soon as the winter 
freezes are over.
