DIRECTIONS FOR GROWING STRAWBERRIES 
“Plow ground deep and prepare level. Set plants 3 to 4 feet 
apart by.18 inches to 2 feet apart in the row. Do not set in 
furrows as they might get covered up after heavy rains, Cul- 
tivate as soon as weed growth starts and continue at intervals 
of 2 weeks during the whole growing season or until about 
September Ist. Keep entirely free of weeds and grass by hoe- 
ing and hand weeding. Keep blossoms pinched off to induce 
them to make runners and set new plants. The blossoms may 
be allowed to remain on the everbearers after the middle of 
July and they will fruit in the fall.

lying on the ground the first year. The next spring about 
March list hang on wires 18 inches and 3 feet high. Some 
growers drive a stake 4 to 5 feet high beside each vine and 
tie to stake. This insures clean berries and are then easily 
picked. About 1,000 plants will set one acre.
