STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
All prices quoted are subject to change without notice. 
We supply Maryland, Delaware and Arkansas grown strawberry 
stock plants direct from nurseries in those states. These north- 
ern grown stock plants are set out in multiplication beds in 
Florida from January through March. The young plants are 
usually set in the permanent field from September through 
November or early December, depending on weather conditions. 
The northern grown plants are usually available about November 
lst and when Florida grown plants are not available are used 
by commercial growers for November setting and are also used 
to a great extent for home gardens. Care should be exercised 
never to allow the roots to dry out. 
Strawberry plants may be planted in rows three feet apart 
for single rows, or 4 to 5 feet apart for double rows, allowing 
16 inches between double rows on each bed. Allow 12 to 14 
inches between plants in the row. 
In setting strawberry plants, holes should be made deep 
enough to set the roots straight. Plants should be set so that 
the surface soil comes just to the crown. Soil should be well 
firmed around the roots, and during dry weather each plant 
should be watered daily for several days after setting, prefer- 
ably in the late afternoon. 
lf the land to be set to berries is very sour or acid, apply 
500 Ibs. lime or 1200 Ihs. hardwood ashes per acre before setting 
plants (see page 61. For control of insects see pages 52 and 54. 
After the plants are well established, 3 or 4 successive applica- 
tions of high grade commercial fertilizer (4-7-5) should be given 
the plants at about monthly intervals, being sure to make one 
heavy application of 3-8-8 when the plants begin to set fruit.

ROSE BUSIES 
Plant any time after October 1 to the end of March. 
Planting and Care of Rose Bushes 
Locate the rose garden in a well drained spot where it receives 
at least five hours of sunlight each day, and avoid the vicinity 
of trees and iarge shrubs. Plant bushes 2 to 3 feet apart each 
way. When planting, prune the bushes back to about 10”. 
Dig holes sufficiently deep and wide to permit roots of plants 
to be set in natural position and not doubled up. Put two to 
three pounds of Wizard Brand Sheep manure in each hole and 
mix well with a half pound of 3-8-5 fertilizer. Then pour in 
a liberal supply of water, set bush, press the soil tightly around 
the roots, leaving no air spaces. Do not set plant any deeper 
than it originally grew, as indicated by soil mark on stem. All 
the first buds should be pulled off so as to increase the vigor 
and growth of the plant. Roses need lots of water, and should 
be fertilized every six to eight weeks with Vigoro or a 3-8-5 
fertilizer mixture, using about one-half pound per plant, and 
an occasional application of sheep manure will help. During 
the summer, mulch with leaves, decomposed lawn clippings, 
rotted stable or cow manure. Spray or dust thoroughly with 
Nicotine Pyrox, or Kryocide-Copotox Dust (see page 53) at 
least once every week or as soon as diseases or insects appear. 
On sweet soils, spray with manganese sulphate (see page 58). 
We carry a large assortment of different colors and varieties, 
acclimated and adapted especially to Florida growing condi- 
tions. Our rose bushes are Texas grown and are budded on 
Rosa Multiflora. 
All orders will be shipped direct from the nursery. 
It requires from 12 to 15 days after receipt of order to get the 
rose bushes to you from the nursery. 
Extra strong, No. 1 grade bushes, any variety—bloom approxi- 
mately 2 months after setting out. 
Postpaid to any point in Florida.
