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 bak- 
ing. It will take about 8,000 spring-bear- 
ing plants to the acre, or 10,000 ever- 
bearing 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 the spring. 
Giant Gem—Bears three months after 
planting, produces a crop in the fall, then 
the following season bears from June until
