STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
All prices quoted are subject to change without notice. 
We supply Maryland, Tennessee and Arkansas grown 
strawberry stock plants of the Missionary and Florida 
90 variety from nurseries in those states. These north- 
ern 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 Sep- 
tember through November or early December, depend- 
ing 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 set 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 with 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 firmed around the roots, and dur- 
ing dry weather each plant should be watered daily for 
several days after setting, preferably in the late after- 
noon. 
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 
applications of high grade commercial fertilizer, such 
as 4-7-5 mixture, should be given the plants at about 
monthly intervals, being sure to make one heavy appli- 
cation of a 3-8-8 or 4-8-8 mixture when the plants begin

ROSE BUSHES FOR FLORIDA 
Planting and Care of Rose Bushes. 
Plant bushes 1% to 2 feet apart each way. Dig holes 
sufficiently deep and wide to permit roots to be set in 
natural position, 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 Texas nursery. 
Delivery made in 12 to 15 days after receipt of order. 
Extra strong, No. 1 grade bushes—bloom approximately 
2 months after setting out.
