HOW TO PLANT STRAWBERRIES 
Plant Strawberries in good rich, well-drained soil; the crown of the plant when set 
should be at the surface of the ground. Tamp the earth firmly around the roots, leaving 
a thin layer of loose soil at the top of the ground to prevent baking. For distance apart 
to set the plants, see page 54. It will take about 8,000 spring-bearing plants to the acre, 
or 10,000 everbearing plants. Keep ground clean and well cultivated. It is best to keep 
blossoms and runners on the everbearing varieties pinched off until the middle of July. 
In late fall, when the ground is frozen down an inch or two, cover with clean straw, 
leaves, or cornstalks, and do not uncover too early in spring. 
ORDER YOUR STRAWBERRY PLANTS BEFORE MAY Ist for early spring planting is 
the safest and best. Any Strawberry plants ordered after May Ist, necessitating our 
handling them when they are full of new soft growth, will be shipped entirely at the 
purchaser's risk.
