How to Plant Strawberries 
There is nothing difficult about planting strawberries if one simple precaution is taken 
during planting. That consists of making sure that the crown of the plant (where the 
leaves join the roots) comes just at the surface of the soil. The roots should be spread out 
well when planting and not doubled up in a small hole. 
Usually in gardens, plants are set 2 ft. apart each way. In field planting 2 ft. apart in 
rows 3 ft. apart. This latter distance takes about 8000 plants for the acre. All varieties 
listed will be self-pollinizing—that is, they will bear even if no other varieties are planted 
nearby. Also, none of these varieties will mix with other varieties in your patch. 
Everyone should have a strawberry patch even if it is no larger than a blanket. You'll 
be amazed at the amount of fruit you will get even off of a small space and it’s of a quality 
you can’t begin to get at the market. Then, too, this year, fruits and vegetables of all kinds 
will be hard to buy—WE ALL MUST GROW OUR OWN.

There is a lot of difference between good 
strawberry plants and poor ones and you 
want to make absolutely certain that you 
ae Zoy spend your money for any but the 
est. 
Some nurseries send out old plants that 
will not give results or weak, spindly rooted 
plants that just could not grow properly. 
But here at Gurney’s, where strawberries 
are a specialty, we absolutely guarantee 
that the strawberry plants you get will be: 
1, YOUNG PLANTS—The vigorous kind 
with plenty of vigor to give you heavy 
crops. 
2. STRONG ROOTED—Large root systems 
that go deep for food and moisture mak- 
ing stronger -plants. 
3. FROM THE BEST STRAINS—There are 
good strains and bad in strawberries like 
everything else. OUR STRAWBERRIES 
ARE ONLY FROM THE BEST STRAINS. 
In addition, all plants are carefully in- 
spected before shipping and then shipped 
to you in a separate, specially-ventilated 
package so they will reach you in absolutely 
perfect condition for planting.
