KENNEDY KWALITY STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Pot-grown_ strawberry plants planted in the early spring will produce a fair amount of fruit in 
June. Greater plant growth, however, will be induced by pinching out the flowers as they appear, 
thus throwing growth into the plants for the following year, 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Set the plants 12 to 15 inches apart in the row. Rows 
should be 2 to 3 feet apart, depending upon the amount 
of space you wish to devote to the strawberry bed. Kept 
clean from weeds a bed will last four to five years, but 
the usual practice is to replant every two or three years. 
Generally the older the bed becomes the smaller the 
fruit; but proper care (freedom from weeds) and correct 
fertilization does much to offset this and prolong the 
life of the bed. 
After plowing or spading the intended bed, apply 
garden fertilizer, broadcast at the rate of approximately 
five pounds per 100 square feet, and work into the soil 
thoroughly. Later on, after the plants have been estab- 
lished for three or four weeks, a moderate amount of 
fertilizer may be applied along the row but care must 
be exercised not to burn the plants. Do not over-do 
fertilization. Bone meal is a good safe fertilizer that 
does not burn. During the life of the bed fertilize once (See opposite page for varieties ) 
every year in February.
