Growing Strawberries Profitably 
Setting Plants 
Clip the roots if they can't be planted without 
doubling. The plant should be set with the crown 
about even with the soil after it has been thoroughly 
firmed around the plant. 
Type of Soil 
Select a plot springy in nature but well drained 
and free of vegetation. Moisture is essential. The lana 
which you contemplate setting to Strawberries 
should be kept as free from vegetation as possible 
during the previous year. If the land has been lying 
idle, plow late in the summer before the weeds and 
grass develop seed to maturity. Heavy crops of Cow 
Peas, Soy Beans, etc., if plowed under in late summer 
while green increase the humus and fertility of the 
soil, making it loose and porous; therefore, more re- 
tentive of moisture. 
Soil Preparation and Fertilization 
Prepare soil same as for truck or garden crops. Lay 
out rows, usually 32 to 4 feet apart; set plants about 
15 to 18 inches apart in the rows. Do not use com- 
mercial fertilizer at the roots. If soil is fertile we do 
not recommend using any type of fertilizer when 
planting. After the plants have been set in the row, 
a light application of fertilizer may be applied around 
the plant and worked into the soil with a hoe. Do not 
allow the fertilizer to fall on the leaves of the plant. 
During the growing season additional applications of 
fertilizer may be applied if the soil is not reasonably 
fertile. 
The following spring after plants have been set, 
during the months of February or March, apply a 
good grade of commercial fertilizer carrying an analy- 
sis of 5 per cent ammonia, 6 to 8 per cent phosphoric 
acid and i0 per cent potash, broadcast on the row of 
the plants, at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds per hun- 
dred yards of row space. 
Cultivation 
Keep Rows Free of Vegetation. 
As soon as the plants are set in the spring, culti- 
vation should begin, and should be continued when- 
ever weeds start or a crust forms. Frequent shallow 
cultivation will make it unnecessary to do much hand 
hoeing or hand weeding. 
Mulching 
After the first freeze during fall months, wheat or 
rye straw may be applied over the rows of plants 
for winter protection. Early in the spring, before 
growth starts, it should be removed from the bed of 
plants and placed between the rows to retain mois- 
ture and keep berries clean. 
Planting Time 
Northern States—April and May. 
Central States—March and April. 
Southern States—February and Marc}
