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 
32 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 conserve 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 fruiting season, as it con- 
serves moisture and keeps the berries 
clean.

TOO DEEP 

AFTER FRUITING. Immediately plow or 
narrow the original row to about a foot. Thor- 
oughly cultivate the middle so as to give new 
plants a chance to get establishea. 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, me- 
dium, or large family respectively.

glad to make selection of suitable varieties if

STRAWBERRIES 
We grow and sell the kinds which do best in Kentucky. 
Use Hillenmeyer’s Tried and Tested Plants. 
varieties listed are perfect flowering. 
All 
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. 
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! 
Strawberry plants, like many other items, are scarce all 
over the United States. We advise placing your order early. 
Many were disappointed last year. 
Our prices permit you to make selection of any variety 
listed. This is important when comparing prices.
