STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
A Strawberry bed as a permanent part of your garden will furnish 
delicious fruit for your table. It is important to set out the plants just 
as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared to receive them. 
Any good garden soil will grow Strawberries; naturally, 1t should be 
fertile and well drained. A cool cloudy day is best for the planting 
operation. Set the plants about 18 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart. 
The bud should be just at the surface of the ground, and the roots 
allowed to go straight down, with the soil pressed firmly against them. 
Keep the bed well but shallowly cultivated, and as the runners appear, 
train them out from the mother plant like spokes from a wheel. Do not 
allow fruit to form until the second year. A straw mulch will help to keep 
down weeds, to conserve moisture, and to prevent the fruit from getting 
dirty. A winter mulch is a good protective measure. 
The Strawberry plants which we sell are raised in a Jarge Delaware 
nursery. They are highly recognized for their strong, heavy roots. All 
the plants are carefully dug, inspected and packed in ventilated crates. 
If you are unable to set out the plants as soon as they arrive, be sure 
to open the bundle and heel the plants in—that is, dig a shallow trench 
for them and cover them with soil as a temporary protection.
