STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
All prices quoted are subject to change without notice. 
We supply Maryland, Delaware and Arkansas grown straw- 
berry stock plants direct from nurseries in those states. These 
northern grown stock plants are set out in multiplication beds 
in Florida from January through March. The young plants are 
usually set in the permanent field from September through 
November or early December, depending on weather con- 
ditions. The northern grown plants are usually available about 
November Ist and when Florida grown plants are not available 
are used by commercial growers for November setting and are 
also used to a great extent for home gardens. Care should be 
exercised never to allow the roots to dry out. 
Strawberry plants may be planted in rows three feet apart 
for single rows, or 4 to 5 feet apart for double rows, allowing 
16 inches between double rows on each bed. Allow 12 to 14 
inches between plants in the row. 
In setting strawberry plants, holes should be made deep 
enough to set the roots straight. Plants should be set so that 
the surface soil comes just to the crown. Soil should be well 
firmed around the roots, and during dry weather each plant 
should be watered daily for several days after setting, prefer- 
ably in the late afternoon. 
If the land to be set to berries is very sour or acid, apply 
500 Ibs. lime or 1200 Ibs. hardwood ashes per acre before setting 
plants (see page 70. For control of insects see pages 50 and 51.) 
After the plants are well established, 3 or 4 successive applica- 
tions of high grade commercial fertilizer (4-7-5) should be 
given the plants at about monthly intervals, being sure to make 
one heavy application of 3-8-8 when the plants begin to set 
fruit. 100 250 500 =: 11000

ROSE BUSHES 
Plant any time after October 1 to the end of March. 
Planting and Care of Rose Bushes 
Plant bushes 2 to 3 feet apart each way. Dig holes sufficiently 
deep and wide to permit roots of plants to be set in natural 
position and not doubled up. Put two to three pounds of 
Wizard Brand Sheep manure in each hole and mix well with a 
half pound of 3-8-5 fertilizer. Then pour in a liberal supply 
of water, set bush, press the soil tightly around the roots, 
leaving no air spaces. Roses need lots of water, and should be 
fertilized every six to eight weeks with Vigoro or a 3-8-5 fer- 
tilizer mixture, using about one-half pound per plant, and an 
occasional application of sheep manure will help. Spray or 
dust thoroughly with Nicotine Pyrox or Kryocide-Copotox 
Dust (see page 60) at least once a week or as soon as diseases 
or insects appear. 
All orders will be shipped direct from the Texas nursery. 
It requires from 12 to 15 days after receipt of order to get the 
rose bushes to you from the nursery. 
Extra strong, No. 1 grade bushes, any variety—bloom approxi- 
mately 2 months after setting out.
