Strawberry Plants are not difficult to grow and readily adapt 
themselves to a great variety of soils and climates. Pot-grown 
plants can be set out in the field at any time during the Spring 
or late Summer and early Fall months, as their strong, fibrous 
roots take hold quickly in new location, and can be depended 
upon to produce bigger crops of larger berries than field-grown 
layer plants. 
A careful selection of varieties will insure fresh berries in the 
garden from early June until late Fall. This can be accomplished 
by choosing an early, a midseason and a late fruiting type as

Strawberry Culture 
PREPARATION OF SOIL ~ 
Dig bed for your plants to a depth of 14 inches and incorporate 
well rotted manure (not fresh manure) or decomposed leaves with the 
soil. Afterwards scatter Bonemeal on each bed, raking it well into the 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
When plants arrive, unpack at once and place in a shady spot, sprin- 
kling them lightly with water. After hot sun has gone down in early 
evening, dip each root ball in a pail of water and loosen the soil with 
the fingers. Be careful not to knock soil from the roots. When plant- 
ing, set the plants 1 foot apart in the row, spacing the rows 2 feet 
apart. Plants need a minimum of 6 hours sun a day so do not plant 
RULES FOR SUCCESS 
Most important rule is to keep weeds down by cultivating which 
will also loosen the soil, preserve moisture and induce healthy growth. 
If good, clean salt hay is available it is advisable to mulch the entire 
bed about the time green berries are forming, working hay well under 
This practice keeps down weeds during fruiting season, 
keeps berries clean and free from rot and preserves soil moisture. In 
early Winter mulch the beds with a light covering of coarse manure, 
evergreen boughs, salt hay or similar material.
