STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
All prices quoted are subject to change without notice. 
We supply Maryland, Tennessee and Arkansas grown straw- 
berry stock plants of the Missionary variety from nurs- 
eries in those states. These northern grown stock plants are 
set out in multiplication beds in Florida from January through 
March. The young plants are usually set in the permanent 
field from September through November or early December, 
depending on weather conditions. The northern grown plants 
are usually available about November Ist and when Florida 
grown plants are not available are used by commercial growers 
for November setting and are also used to a great extent 
for home gardens. Care should be exercised never to allow the 
roots to dry out. 
Strawberry plants may be planted in rows three feet apart 
for single rows, or 4 to 5 feet apart for double rows, allowing 
16 inches between double rows on each bed. Allow 12 to 14 
inches between plants in the row. 
In setting strawberry plants, holes should be made deep 
enough to set the roots straight. Plants should be set so that 
the surface soil comes just to the crown. Soil should be well 
ROSE BUSHES 
Plant any time after November | to the end of March. 
Planting and Care of Rose Bushes. 
Plant bushes 11% to 2 feet apart each way. Dig holes sufficiently 
deep and wide to permit roots of plants to be set in natural 
position and not doubled up. Put two to three pounds of 
pulverized sheep manure in each hole and mix well with a 
half pound of Vigoro or Vertagreen fertilizer. (See page 67) 
Then pour in a liberal supply of water, set bush, press the 
soil tightly around the roots, leaving no air spaces. Roses 
need lots of water, and should be fertilized every six to eight 
weeks with Vigoro or Vertagreen fertilizer, using about one- 
half pound per plant, and an occasional application of 
sheep manure will help. Spray with Nicotine Pyrox or dust 
thoroughly with Kilgore’s Rose Dust (See page 63) at least 
once a week or as soon as diseases or insects appear. 
All orders will be shipped direct from the Texas nursery. 
It requires from 12 to 15 days after receipt of order to get the 
rose bushes to you from the nursery. 
Extra strong, No. 1 grade bushes, any variety—bloom approxi- 
mately 2 months after setting out.

firmed around the roots, and during dry weather each plant 
should be watered daily for several days after setting, prefer- 
ably in the late afternoon, 
If the land to be set to berries is very sour or acid, apply 
500 lbs. lime or 1200 lbs. hardwood ashes per acre before setting 
plants. For control of insects and diseases see page 56. 
After the plants are well established, 3 or 4 successive appli- 
cations of high grade commercial fertilizer, such as 4-7-5 
mixture, should be given the plants at about monthly inter- 
vals, being sure to make one heavy application of a 3-8-8 mix- 
ture when the plants begin to set fruit.
