Strawberry Plants. 
I have made arrangements with an exclusive grower of strawberry 
plants for this season. Plants will be shipped direct from grower to 
you with planting instructions. At least 90 per cent of the plants are 
guaranteed to grow and if more than that fail to grow the first season 
notify us, stating how many failed to grow and they will be replaced 
either in the fall or next spring as you wish. Plants will be available 
from April 1 to May 15 or possibly later. 
Plants are sold in multiples of 25 of a variety and are PREPAID TO 
YOU. Please state when you want shipment.

Pyramid Garden for Growing Strawberries. ) 
You have perhaps read about growing strawberries in a “barrel” with 
holes in to set the plants in. Fill barrel with a good dirt and put drain 
tile down through the center. The Pyramid Garden is along the same 
lines. It consists of an outside ring of aluminum 6 feet in diameter 
with small rings added for a total of four rings. The 6-foot ring is placed 
on the ground and filled with good dirt. Second ring is smaller and 
is set on dirt of first ring, each ring is smaller than preceding one, and 
coarse sand is added in middle of rings to water and fertilize the plants 
set out. Garden holds total of 75 plants and everbearing varieties are 
generally used for this. 
This Garden can also be supplied with a transparent cover and hoops 
to hold the cover which will make it a sort of “Hot Cap” garden for 
starting early vegetables or for giving strawberry plants an early 
start.
