Through research.. Better Plants 
TREATMENT 
TO RID 
PLANTS 
OF 
NEMATODES 
The above pictures illustrate the cooperation of our state 
of Indiana, Purdue University and the United States 
Department of Agriculture in working with the Judson 
Nurseries in the closely supervised, stop-watch controlled 
method of hot water treatment of our planting stock of 
strawberry plants. This process was developed to rid 
plants of nematodes. Prior to planting, our fields are 
carefully prepared and fumigated so that as far as is 
scientifically possible we are able to ship plants free of 
nematodes. Better plants—better fruit production from 
Judson grown strawberry plants. 
VIRUS-FREE PLANTING STOCK 
In addition to the work described above we have worked 
closely in the growing of strawberry plants from virus-free 
planting stock. Virus-free planting stock as indicated in 
the price list is from U.S.D.A. and also from our own 
indexed virus-free planting stock. A screen house at the 
Judson Nurseries represents an important investment at 
the nursery to continue a carefully planned program in 
growing the initial virus-free planting stock.
