POTTED STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Advantages of Buying Potted Strawberry Plants — They Make 
Stronger and Better Plants — They Reproduce New 
Plants and Bear Fruit Earlier 
Buying potted strawberry plants is the most economical and practical way to 
start a strawberry bed either for the home owner or the commercial grower 
as there is not a chance for the failure of the plants to continue to grow after 
they have been set in the soil if they have been properly set to begin with. 
After removing the pots from the plants, which are ALREADY WELL ROOT- 
ED AND GROWING, and properly setting them in the soil where they are 
to be permanently located THEY KEEP RIGHT ON GROWING AND WILL 
ESTABLISH THEMSELVES IN THE NEW ENVIRONMENT AT ONCE 
AND WILL PRODUCE NEW PLANTS AND BEAR FRUIT EARLIER 
THAN FIELD GROWN PLANTS because they are hardier. 
The Use of Potted Plants Prolongs the Planting Season 
Throughout the Summer and Fall Months 
Potted plants may be planted any time during the year and, if you failed to 
get plants started early in the spring, by the use of potted plants you may start 
a strawberry bed any time during the year that the soil can be worked. We 
have them available throughout the year. 
During dry seasons or periods of drouth some special care should be given 
newly set out plants to provide them with ample moisture to encourage growth 
and to give the plants an opportunityto establish themselves in their new en- 
vironment. If moisture conditions of the soil are normal no extra care is 
required. 
The potted plants are well adapted to fall planting in preparation of a bed of 
plants that will produce early the following season. Late planted everbearing 
strawberry plants will not likely produce any fruit in this period and should 
be properly mulched for over winter but will be ready for an early start the 
following spring and should reproduce new runner plants early and a prodi- 
gious crop of fruit during the summer and fall. 
The potted Everbearing Strawberry plants will begin to bloom, if they are not 
already in bloom when received, in a short time after they have been set out 
in the permanent location. 
For most satisfactory first season results the blossoms should be removed from 
the mother plant as they develop until the latter part of June to encourage 
strong, healthy root development. After July first the plants should be al- 
lowed to bloom as they will and early in August they should begin to bear ripe 
fruit and during September and October should bear a tremendous crop, a 
quart to the plant, in the same season planted and continue to bear until freez- 
ing conditions end the further possibility of fruit production.
