The Wayzata is the Strawberry that we recommend 
above all others. It has proved to be the favorite of about 
90 per cent of our customers on account of its splendid 
flavor. From the standpoint of the man who grows it, 
Wayzata has further points in its favor. 
It is a very strong, vigorous plant with long roots and 
large leaves but since it is a bush type it rarely produces 
any runners. This means that all the energy of the plant 
goes into the production of the large, well-flavored berries. 
The rows are not heavily matted and the same patch can 
easily be kept producing for four years. Flowers are carried 
high, which makes the berries easy to pick. Seeds are so 
small that they are unnoticeable, and the flavor is mild 
and sweet. It is a good freezing variety and does not re- 
quire much sugar for canning. Wayzata is a perfect- 
flowering variety; that is, no other kind is needed for 
pollination. 
All Strawberries do best on well-drained ground that 
has frequent irrigation. The Wayzata is no exception and 
because it is such a heavy bearer it demands plenty of 
water. Divisions often need extra water until the root sys- 
tems develop. We recommend that plants be set 15 to 18 



inches apart in the row and the rows 2!5 feet apart. For 
tractor cultivation, 3 feet is better. The same depth that 
the plant grew in the nursery is about right, or a little 
deeper. When you run water between the rows the soil 
settles and washes away somewhat so that the row becomes 
high. This makes an ideal bed unless the ditch gets too 
deep. Full sunshine and ample irrigation are their require- 
ments. 
We do not recommend mulching for the reason that 
grub-worms were once introduced into our beds through 
this means. Instead we prefer to water every four days 
and soak the soil to a depth of 8 to 12 inches. Some people 
water every two days because their soil is so porous, and 
a few don't do the job as often as we do. It depends partly 
upon your local conditions. 
Here our first crop is over by the first of July, but in two 
or three weeks the next one begins. Each succeeding 
picking becomes larger for about two months. Berries may 
be picked until the thermometer reaches 25 degrees above 
zero. Plants have withstood winter temperatures of 28 
degrees below zero unmulched. We have used the mulch- 
less system successfully for ten years. If the winter is dry 
and warm, one irrigation in the middle of the winter may 
save the plants from drying out. 
To give you an idea of the crop that you can expect from 
Wayzata, let us tell you of our experience in 1946. Between 
July 15 and November 10 we re- 
tailed 1200 quarts of berries at 50 
cents per quart. This yield was from 
only one-fifth of an acre. That is, 
the fall crop was worth $3000 per 
acre. 
We urge you to join the ranks of 
the many planters who are making 
a handsome profit every year from 
Wayzatas.
