The plants can be planted in hard or loose ground. 
The advantage of hard ground is that it does not 
wash as much as the loose ground, and water soak- 
ing will generally loosen it. 
The Bush Type Wayzata Everbearer is a great 
labor saver because it is an endless job to keep run- 
ners off the runner type strawberries. If the runners 
are left on, many do nothing but make runners, others 
start making fair-sized berries but as the runners 
increase, the berries get smaller and soon get the 
size of peas. 
The Bush Type can be grown three years and then 
divided or pruned back. In the nursery, we divide 
every two years and always have large berries. The 
third year, extra fertilizer will be needed to get big 
berries, as the plant cannot feed the berries suffici- 
ently. A plant just can’t make a lot of runners and 
produce its best, but if the runners are kept off, most 
everbearers will produce a fair crop. 
I am testing Twentieth Century and the Utah 
Centennial. They are very much alike and may prove 
about equal to Gemzata, yielding about two-thirds as 
much as the Bush Type. The Red Rich made a very 
poor showing here. Perhaps the soil does not suit it.

Cultivation of Bush Type Wayzata 
The Bush Type Wayzata Strawberry begins to 
form buds as soon as it starts to grow. These will 
blossom and form berries which will ripen if the 
plant gets water when needed. If the growing plant 
is dry for five or six days, it will shed its flowers 
and fruit to protect itself. With a few days of proper 
watering, it will again be blooming and will continue 
to produce berries if it has sufficient moisture all 
of the time. 
During July the Wayzata will rest for about two 
weeks. although some of the plants may have a few 
ripe or green berries on them. After this rest period, 
they will bear steadily, increasing in quantity as the 
plants make more crowns. Plants set early in the 
spring often have four or five crowns in the fall. 
Strawberry plants can, however, be set any time dur- 
ing the Summer providing plenty of moisture is made 
available for them. In white sandy soil one third to 
one half shade is beneficial to the plants, but in black 
soil they like full sun. 
Strawberry plants generally require Shallow hoe- 
ing or cultivating as most of their roots are in the 
upper three inches of soil. We recommend not over 
one inch deep cultivation near the plant.
