EASY TO GROW! 
Enjoy This Delicious Fruit From Your Own Garden 
Gray's Everbearing Strawbery plants bear the first summer, with a full 
crop the following year. They live out-of-doors during the winter, and are 
normally evergreen. A strawberry bed with an inexpensive ornamental 
curb is an attractive landscape feature. 
Strawberries are easy to grow. You'll be surprised how many delicious 
berries you can grow in a very small space, and how much genuine pleasure 
you can get from delicious, fresh strawberries right off your own plants. 
Well cared for plants should produce something like a pint, and we've 
heard of phenomenal yield of 2 quarts per plant. For best results, be sure 
to obtain a copy of our leaflet on ‘Hill Culture and a Sawdust Mulch,” 25c. 
The following comments are from an experienced grower in our section: 
“STREAMLINER is all berries the first summer, as it doesn’t produce many runners 
to sap the strength of the plant. I've seen berries as large as hen’s eggs. Sweet berry. 
and I've gathered berries on Christmas Day. 
“Gem roots seem more resistant to soil troubles. To keep it bearing the first 
summer, keep the runners all snapped off. If you let the runners grow, it will stop 
bearing. Streamliner outbears Gem 10 to 1 the first year, but the second year, Gem 
is equal to any for fruit. Gem is uniform in size, perfect in shape, and the finest 
flavor. Streamliner berries are perhaps the largest. Gem seems less susceptible to 
nematode than any. 
“Best time for planting is January 15th to February 15th, for then they don’t bloom 
too soon. Plant 8 inches apart in the row. rows 3 inches above the level. Irrigate 
down the middles (rows 24 inches apart). Fertilize with well rotted leaf loam, or with 
well rotted manure. Fresh manure will burn up the plants if you are not careful. SAW- 
DUST is one of the best materials for mulching in the row as it keeps the berries up out 
of the dirt. Late in the season, let the berries rot on the vine and the plants will go to 
making runners and new plants. 
“Destroy the old plants after the third year and start with new plants. This also 
gives you an opportunity to bring the soil to life by adding well rotted manure, 
superphospate and, if necessary to keep the soil acid, iron sulphate”. 
“I sold a man a thousand plants. He pulled off all the runners for 40 days and 
harvested 80 gallons of strawberries; then quit pulling off the runners and grew 20,000 
new plants”.
