Field of Strawberies. Strawberries Will succeed in any soil adapted to farm and garden crops. Prepare the soil thoroughly to a good depth; if crowded for room, plant in beds, setting the plants about 20 inches apart each way. A better method is the matted-row system, planting in rows 3 to 4 feet apart and 15 to 20 inches apart in the row. After planting, apply a mulching, along each side of the rows, of 4 to 6 inches of clean strawf or leaves. If your soil is thin, apply a coat of manure as a mulch, be- fore you do the straw or leaves. The mulching will hold moisture during the summer and will keep the berries clean as they ripen. Allow the plants to make runners all summer, which will give you the first season a thick-matted row as wide as you allow the runners to set crowns; this width should not be more than 12 to 15 inches, giving you about 20 inches of clear space between rows for cultivation. We offer the following varieties, all perfect-blooming sorts, and all standard varieties of their season, the sorts covering the season from earliest to latest and described in their order of ripening. Open the plants promptly on receipt, dip roots in water and bury roots—do not cover tops—in moist fine soil or sand until ready to plant. NOTE—We do not pack strawberry plants with other nursery stock; they must be handled separately. All orders for 500 or less will go parcel post; orders for 1000 or more by express. PRICES.
