Hoeing Strawberries on the Brunes Berry Farm 

The Berry for the Home Garden and the Berry Farm 
OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee every plant sold by us to 
be free from any injurious diseases or in- 
sects and true to name, and will replace 
any plants that are otherwise. It is agreed 
between ourselves and our customers that 
we shall not be liable for a greater sum 
than the amount paid us for plants, and will 
not be responsible for crop failure or damage 
by weather. We reserve the right to return 
money in case of a shortage of plants. 
Growing Instructions 
Plant strawberries as early in the spring as the ground 
can be worked. Start cultivating and hoeing as soon as 
planted. Cultivate all summer and keep the weeds out. 
If possible water them in the EVENING in dry weather. 
Have the rows 3 to 4 feet apart and plant 18 to 20 inches 
in the row. Keep the bud clusters off from 6 to 7 weeks 
after planting, then let them bear the rest of the summer. 
Keep most of the runners off if only berries are wanted. 
Be sure to thin our Everbearing strawberries the second 
season when they are matted. Thin them down to very 
narrow rows, about 4 to 6 inches wide, and you will get 
more and larger berries. 
Care of Plants 
Packing for shipment. We pack strawberry plants in 
fresh moss so they will reach you inthe best of condition, 
and if taken care of as soon as they arrive you will have 
little or no loss on plants after planting. 
When the plants arrive cut the string around them, dip 
the roots in water and heel them in the ground until you 
are ready to set them out. Sandy loam is best for straw- 
berries, but reports have come to us that ‘“‘Brunes Marvel’’ 
is doing well on a variety of soils in several states. 
We sell thousands of quarts of berries 
each season to our tourist trade, at Charlie’s 
Place, Highway 371, Pequot Lakes, Minn.
