STRAWBERRY PLANTS ~crown 
Strawberry Plants are not difficult to grow and readily adapt 
themselves to a great variety of soils and climates. Pot-grown 
plants can be set out in the field at any time during the Spring 
or late Summer and early Fall-months, as their strong, fibrous 
roots take hold quickly in new location, and can be depended 
upon to produce bigger crops of larger berries than field-grown 
layer plants. 
A careful selection of varieties will insure fresh berries in the 
garden from early June until late Fall. This can be accomplished 
by choosing an early, a midseason and a late fruiting type as 
indicated in description of varieties listed below. We recom- 
mend planting no less than 25 plants of a variety as we know 
from experience that growing fewer plants does not give a satis- 
factory picking for a small family.

When plants arrive, unpack at once and place ina shady spot, sprin- 
kling them lightly with water. After hot sun has gone down in early 
evening, dip each root ball in a pail of water and loosen the soil with 
the fingers. Be careful not to knock soil frcm the roots. When plant- 
ing, set the plants 1 foot apart in the row, spacing the rows 2 feet 
apart. Plants need a minimum of 6 hours sun a day so do not plant 
in very shaded location.

will also loosen the soil, preserve moisture and induce healthy growth.
