Strawberries Are Easily Grown 
Rich soil, kept firm and with a plentiful 
supply of moisture, is desirable. Select potted 
plants and space them at 9-inch intervals in 
rows 2 feet apart in spring or late summer.

your hoeing must be very shallow, because all 
feeding roots are close to the surface. Whiten 
the soil around the plants with General Garden 
Fertilizer in November and. May. Spread ¥% 
inch of peat moss over both ground and plants 
in December, and brush it lightly off the leaves 
in April. 
Strawberry plants produce daughter plants 
around the parent, and as care of a bed devel- 
ops into routine, it is usual to retain daughter 
in early 
autumn, transplant unwanted plants into new 
rows and destroy the year-old parents. 
Runners connecting plants should be cut as 
soon as young ones are rooted.
