none of the roots will be exposed. Even if 
your ground is well dressed it is a good plan 
to side dress your plants a few weeks after 
setting with potato or garden fertilizer. Never 
put fertilizer directly under the roots. Strew 
it along the row about 4 in. from the plant 
on both sides and hoe it lightly. Blossoms 
should be kept picked the first year from all 
varieties except Gem Everbearer When your 
plants start to run, space and set the runners 
in such a way that you will have a wide row. 
For best results mulch your plants in No- 
vember with straw or meadow hay. This 
mulch should be removed from the plants af- 
ter the frost is well out of the ground but left 
between the rows to hold the moisture and — 
keep the berries clean. 
CARE OF PLANTS SHIPPED 
When you receive your plants unpack at 
once and spread out in a cellar or some other 
cool place away from the sun and wind. If 
very dry sprinkle the roots. Set as soon as 
possible. Never expose the roots to sun and 
wind while setting.
