Strawberries in the Home Garden 
Strawberries are so easily grown that there is no reason why 
every family should not enjoy all that richness of flavor which 
is attained only when fully ripened on the vine and served fresh. 
Any soil that will grow good corn or potatoes will grow good 
strawberries. Plenty of humus or well rotted vegetable matter 
in the soil will help retain moisture during dry weather. Well 
rotted manure worked into the soil will provide both humus 
and fertility, and give you more, larger and better berries. 
Strawberries planted this spring will give a full crop next spring. 
Everbearing varieties will give a crop the first summer. For 
varieties and prices see page 32.
