CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR STRAWBERRIES 
WHEN PLANTS ARE RECEIVED. Plant at once if 
possible. If season is not favorable put in cool, moist 
place, but do not water. They also may be unpacked 
and trenched in open ground. 
WHEN TO PLANT. Late March or April is the chosen 
time. Fall planting usually results in a complete failure. 
SOIL. Strawberries respond to good soil and you 
should choose a-fertile location. However, do not plant 
immediately after turning under sod, as white grubs 
invariably cause trouble. Prepare the ground very 
thoroughly. 
DISTANCE TO PLANT. The rows should be 
3’ to 4 feet apart and the plants set about 
18 inches in the row. It requires about 7000 
plants per acre. 
CULTIVATION. During the summer keep the 
ground constantly stirred and free of weeds. 
Moisture preservation by dust mulch will con- 
serve the vitality of your plants and produce a 
fine matted row. Keep the hoe and cultivator 
busy. 
MULCHING. Protect by mulching with clean 
straw in fall or early winter after the ground is 
frozen. Do not apply too heavily, as this 
smothers the plants. Leave on during the fruit- 
ing season, as it conserves moisture and keeps 
the berries clean. 
AFTER FRUITING. Immediately plow or nar- 
row the original row to about a foot. Thoroughly 


TOO DEEP

(Fall 1944 — Spring 1945) 
cultivate the middle so as to give the new plants a 
chance to get established. Repeat the second year. 
We do not advise keeping beds more than two or three 
years. 
FAMILY REQUIREMENTS. About 300, 500, or 1000 
plants are required for a small, medium, or large 
family respectively. 
SELECTION OF VARIETIES. We shall be glad to 
make selection of suitable varieties if you want to

STRAWBERRIES 
We grow and sell the kinds which do best in Ken- 
tucky. Use Hillenmeyer’s Tried and Tested Plants. All 
varieties listed are perfect flowering. 
PREMIER 
One of the most popular Strawberries ever introduced. Good 
plant maker, frost-resistant and prolific. The bright red berries 
are large, bluntly conical, of good quality and hold up in size to 
the very end if the season is favorable. The leading berry for mar- 
ket or home. No variety ever tested has been so deservedly popu- 
lar and we recommend it as the best early and midseason kind. 
BLAKEMORE 
Ripens a few days before Premier. Berries light red, conical and 
will remain firm a few days after ripening. Excellent for commer- 
cial or home use. Productive, good plant maker, and does well on 
rather poor soil. Our plants are the yellows-free strain. Plant 
Blakemore for profit. 
CATSKILL 
A new outstanding midseason variety of high quality which is 
rapidly growing in popularity. Bright red. Excellent for home use. 
DORSETT 
One of the most satisfactory varieties that has been introduced 
in years. Its high quality, bright colored berries with light red flesh 
are excellent both for home and local market purposes. Ripens a 
few days after Premier, and while by some thought better, we are 
not yet ready to give it preference. It is a good plant maker. 
FAIRFAX 
Of highest quality and ripens about a week after Premier. Berries 
bluntly conical, dull red, yellow or greenish seed and dark red 
flesh. Juicy, firm and a fine home berry. It so overlaps Aroma 
and is so much better quality that we have discontinued growing 
that variety. 
GANDY 
Still the best late berry. Robust plants with fruit on strong stems. 
Blooms exceedingly late and thus frequently misses frosts. Conical 
berries with large caps, firm and rather acid. Excellent for preserv- 
ing, canning or shipping. Prefers a moist clay soil. 
NOTICE 
Due to a very dry early summer, Strawberry plants are ex- 
j ceedingly scarce with us and all over the United States. We 
advise buying early, as orders will be booked in the order re- 
ceived. Many were disappointed last year.
