Some weeds will grow up through the sawdust within 
a few weeks after it is applied. These weeds should be re- 
moved by pulling, as hoeing would mix the sawdust with the 
soil and eliminate its mulch effect. The sawdust will keep 
your berries clean, conserve moisture and suppress weed 
growth. 
All blossoms which develop on newly-set plants should 
be removed until early July, or later if plants are set later 
than the first two weeks in April. Let plants get well estab- 
lished before you allow the blossoms to remain on them. 
Berries start to ripen about one month after full bloom. Run- 
ners should be removed from plants entire season for best 
results. 
A fine crop should be harvested the following Spring also. 
The sawdust mulch seems to give satisfactory protection over 
- the Winter period. If the Spring application was too light, a 
renewal layer of sawdust can be added. A full inch of mulch 
should be maintained. 
For those who would like to try this very promising new 
method of betting berries the year plants are set, we have a 
fine lot of Everbearers—Gem, Streamliner, or Superfection. 
The diagrom below shows way of planting an Ever- 
bearing Strawberry bed that should produce 100 quarts of 
wonderful berries the first year. Plants are set four rows wide, 
with plants spaced one foot apart each way. Space of two feet 
for path between each four rows. 500 plants required to set 
a bed 15 feet by 40 feet.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE 
Strawberries are one of the easiest fruits to grow. Good 
land, good cultivation, good plants and good judgment will 
assure success.
