DIRECTIONS FOR GROWING STRAWBERRIES 
Plow ground deep and prepare level. Set plants 3 to 4 feet 
apart by 18 inches to 2 feet apart in the row. Do not set in 
furrows as they might get covered up after heavy rains. Cul- 
tivate as soon as weed growth starts and continue at intervals 
of 2 weeks during the whole growing season or until about 
September Ist. Keep entirely free of weeds and grass by hoeing 
and hand weeding. Keep blossoms pinched off to induce them 
to make runners and set new plants. The blossoms may be 
allowed to remain on the everbearers after the middle of July 
and they will fruit in the fall.

CULTIVATION OF BOYSENBERRIES 
Boysenberries should be set the latter part of February or 
in March. They are perfectly hardy and will not winterkill if 
set in the fall or anytime during the winter. Set in rows 8 feet 
apart by 5 feet in row. Cultivate both ways leaving vines 
lying on the ground the first year. The next spring about 
March Ist hang on wires 18 inches and 38 feet high. Some 
growers drive a stake 4 to 5 feet high beside each vine and tie 
to stake. This insures clean berries and are then easily picked. 
About 1,000 plants will set one acre.
