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 be- 
comes 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 approxi- 
mately five pounds per 100 square feet, and work into 
the soil thoroughly. Later on, after the plants have 
been established 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 fer- 
tilizer that does not burn. During the life of the bed 
fertilize once every year in February.
