Home Grown Strawberries Taste Better 
STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Set plants 18 inches apart in 31% to 4 ft. rows. We have in the past dug strawberry plants as they were 
wanted by the customers. Many of the orders came in late or specified late shipment. We found these late 
dug plants started slowly and were not as vigorous as early dug plants. 
By experimenting we find that the most successful way to handle Strawberry plants is to dig them as early 
in the Spring as possible, place them in cold storage and hold them dormant until they are shipped. They do 
not have the top growth of freshly dug plants but we find when transplanted they recover faster and make a far 
better stand. 
We list the four Spring varieties that seem to be among those best adapted to the East. Premier is a fine 
early berry but the fruiting season is short. Fairfax is a day or two later but fruits over a much longer season. 
Catskill, a midseason variety produces very large berries over a long season. Sparkle, a new variety, is especially 
recommended for freezing. Mastodon is the best of the everbearing varieties. 
* FAIRFAX: One of the most popular berries for the 
home garden and roadside stand; a day or two later 
than Premier but an exceptionally long fruiting sea- 
son. Plants are vigorous and foliage holds well 
through fruiting season. Fruits are very large and 
hold size better than most varieties. Fairfax has a 
rich, full bodied flavor and a mouth watering aroma.

SPARKLE: The New York State Experiment Station 
especially recommends Sparkle as a quick freezing 
variety. Sparkle, a new introduction from the New 
Jersey Experiment Station, ripens late, has a fine 
flavor and is claimed to be resistant to Red Stele 
root rot disease. Freshly dug No. 1 plants: 25
