STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
It is important to set out the plants 
just as early in the spring as the ground 
can be prepared. Any fertile, well- 
drained garden soil will grow Straw- 
berries. Set the plants about 18 inches 
apart In rows 3 feet apart. The roots 
should be 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. 
Do not allow fruit to form until the 
second year. A straw mulch will help 
to keep down weeds, to conserve moist- 
ure, and to prevent the fruit from get- 
ting dirty. A winter mulch is a good 
protective measure. 
The Strawberry plants which we sell 
are raised in a large Delaware nursery. 
They are highly recognized for their 
strong, heavy roots. AII the plants are 
carefully dug, inspected and packed mn 
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 m—that is, dig a shallow trench 
for them and cover them with soil as a 
temporary protection.
