Growing Strawberries Profitably 
Setting Plants 
Clip the roots if they can't be planted without doubling. The plant should 
be set with the crown about even with the soil after it has been thoroughly 
firmed around the plant. : 
Type of Soil 
Select a plot springy in nature but well drained and free of vegetation. 
Moisture is essential. The land which you contemplate setting to Straw- 
berries should be kept as free from vegetation as possible during the pre- 
vious year. If the land has been lying idle, plow late in the summer before 
the weeds and grass develop seed to maturity. Heavy crops of Cow Peas, 
Soy Beans, etc., if plowed under in late summer while green increase the 
humus and fertility of the soil, making it loose and porous; therefore, more 
retentive of moisture. 
Soil Preparation and Fertilization 
Prepare soil same as for truck or garden crops. Lay out rows, usually 342 
to 4 feet apart; set plants about 15 to 18 inches apart in the row. Do not use

Mulching 
After the first fréeze during fall months, wheat or rye straw may be 
applied over the rows of plants for winter protection. Early in the 
spring, before growth starts, it should be removed from the bed of 
plants and placed between the rows to retain moisture and keep 
berries clean. 

BLAKEMORE 
The Ideal Early 
Shipping Berry 
We offer a special strain of Blakemore, free 
from yellows. A healthy plant that yields big 
crops of berries. Will stand two or three days 
without over-ripening. Foliage is healthy and 
stands up well during drought. Fruit is firm, 
of good color and unexcelled as a long-dis- 
tance shipping berry. Ranks high in preduc- 
tiveness. To get all that you are entitled to 
from Blakemore, do not allow them to mat too 
thickly in the rows during the growing season. 
Price: 75c per 25; $1.25 per 50; $2.00 
per 100; $4.00 per 250; $6.25 per 500; 
$10.00 per 1000.

commercial fertilizer at the roots. If soil is fertile, we do not recommend using 
any type of fertilizer when planting. After the plants have been set in the 
row, @ light application of fertilizer may be applied around the plant and 
worked into the soil with a hoe. Do not allow the fertilizer to fall on the 
leaves of the plants. During the growing season additional applications of 
fertilizer may be applied if the soil is not reasonably fertile. 
The following spring after plants have been set, during the months of 
February or March, apply a good grade of commercial fertilizer carrying an 
analysis of 5 per cent ammonia, 6 to 8 per cent phosphoric acid and 10 per 
cent potash, broadcast on the row of plants, at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds 
per hundred yards of row space. 
Cultivation 
Keep Rows Free of Vegetation. 
As soon as the plants are set in the spring, cultivation should begin, and 
should be continued whenever weeds start or a crust forms. Frequent shallow 
cultivation will make it unnecessary to do much hand hoeing or hand 
weeding. 
Planting Time 
Northern States—April and May. 
Central States—March and April. 
Southern States—-February and March.
