PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
When planting in old ground it is good to plow under a 
good cover crop in the fall. Do not let weeds and grass go to seed 
where you plan to set strawberries. Thoroughly prepare your 
ground in the. spring using 600 lbs. of complete fertilizer per 
acre. Rows should be four feet apart, plants eighteen inches in 
the row. This is for matted rows. 
In the lower south where the hill system is used, they should 
be planted on beds approximately four feet apart, two rows to the 
bed, plants set twelve inches apart in each row. 
Set your plants deep enough that only the bud is above the 
ground. Press soil very firmly around the plant. It is a good idea to 
set your plants with the roots at a slight angle. Then you can press 
the soil firmly on the roots without injuring the crown or bud of 
the plant. Keep your plants free of weeds and grass. 
Our labor cost is just as high as it was during the War years. 
However, we have been able to increase our production with less 
labor. We are passing this saving on to our customers.
