STRAWBERRY PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
1 -- CARE OF PLANTS UPON ARRIVAL. 
If your plants reach you before you are ready to plant, open the package, 
take the plants out, dampen the roots, redampen the packing material and 
place in the original package. If you have the space, put the package of plants 
in your refrigerator and they will keep in good condition without further at- 
tention for several days. If refrigerator space is not available, place the pack- 
age in a cool cellar, and keep the packing material and roots of plants damp- 
ened until they are planted. 
2 - - PLANTING. 
The land should be thoroughly worked to render the soil right for planting. 
Dip roots of plants in water, and keep them covered while planting. A cool, 
cloudy day is best for planting, or the late afternoon. Open the ground with a 
spade, garden trowel or dibble, by inserting tool into soil about six inches deep 
and moving handle back and forth. Place plant in this opening with roots 
straight down and crown just level or slightly below the surface of the soil. 
Press soil firmly around the roots. Soak each plant in thoroughly if soil is dry. 
Cover the wet ground with a little dry soil in order to prevent too rapid ev- 
aporation. It is important that the plants be set at the proper depth with 
the crown level or slightly below the surface of the soil. The stem of the 
strawberry is quite short, and if set too deep the crown may be carelessly 
covered with earth thus causing the main bud to rot. If the plant is set too 
shallow, the roots will dry out. 
3 - - HOEING AND CULTIVATING. 
Frequent and shallow cultivation (1 to 1% inches deep) is one of the secrets 
of successful berry growing. Keep the top soil loose, and all weeds and grass 
removed from the row. The wise grower does not wait for the weeds to sprout. 
Cut off the blossoms at each hoeing to make a strong and vigorous plant for 
production of new runners for next year’s crop. Blossoms may be left on 
everbearing varieties after July Ist.
