Growing Strawberries Profitably 
Setting Plants 
Clip the roots if they can’t be planted with- 
out doubling. The plant should be set with 
the crown about even with the soil after it 
has been thoroughly firmed around the plant. 
Type of Soil 
Select a plot springy in nature but well 
drained and free of vegetation. Moisture is 
essential. The land which you contemplate 
setting to Strawberries should be kept as free 
from vegetation as possible during the pre- 
vious year. If the land has been lying idle, 
plow late in summer before the weeds and 
grass develop seed to maturity. Heavy crops 
of Cow Peas, Soy Beans, etc., if plowed under 
in late summer while green increase the 
humus and fertility of the soil, making it loose 
and porous; therefore, more retentive of mois- 
ture. 
Soil Preparation and Fertilization 
Prepare soil same as for truck or garden 
crops. Lay out rows, usually 3% to 4 feet 
apart; set plants about 15 to 18 inches apart 
in the rows. Do not use commercial fertilizer 
at the roots. If soil is fertile we do not recom- 
mend using any type of fertilizer when plant- 
All Strawberries in Color are Actual 
ing. After the plants have been set in the row, Photographs in Pint Containers 
a light application of fertilizer may be applied 
around the plant and worked into the soil with 
a hoe. Do not allow the fertilizer to fall on the b 7 M4 
leaves of the plant. During the growing sea- Straw erry Price List
