Strawberries 
Strawberries should always be planted in the spring, the earlier the better. 
We were disappointed in our Strawberry plants last spring and were determined to 
do something about it for the Spring of ‘55. The first week in April we started setting out 
a new bed of plants on ground that had been pasture for many years. This rich land, 
early planting date, plus a season of plentiful rainfall and extra special care produced 
some wonderful plants. Both the June-bearing varieties and Everbearing varieties pro- 
duced the sturdiest, well rooted plants we have ever seen. 
The above photo shows my father and cousin picking berries from the Everbearing 
plants in this bed. They were kept busy picking berries until late fall. 
These new plants, which are the plants we'll be selling this Spring should really pro- 
duce some wonderful crops of fruit for you.
