FARQUHAR’S POT-GROWN |
STRAWBERRY PLANTS

These are strong pot-grown plants, which can be safely
shipped to any reasonable distance. If planted early, they will
produce a large crop of fruit next year. All varieties offered
are perfect flowering, needing no fertilization by another variety.

Cultural Directions. The Strawberry is easily cultivated; abundant crops
can be obtained from a variety of soils, differing widely in character, from a
light sand to a heavy clay. The best soil is a deep sandy loam, but any soil
suited to the growth of ordinary field or garden crops may be trusted to suc-
cessfully grow the Strawberry. The soil should be broken up and pulverized
by spade-trenching or subsoil-plowing, enriching with good stable manure to a
depth of fully two feet, the quantity of manure to be determined by the con-
dition of the soil. The plants may be set in beds of three rows one foot apart
and one foot distant in the rows, with a space of two and a half feet between
the outside rows os adjoining beds left fcra pathway. They may also be planted
in single rows three feet apart and one fcot apart in the rows.

doz.; $7.00 per 100, $60.00 per 1000 (250 or more at 1000 rate.)

EARLY

Arabine. Extra early; very large, bright red, of high quality, heavy
cropper and vigorous grower.

Premier. A wonderfully productive and very early new variety.
The mammoth berries are of beautiful form, rich bright red through-
out and very delicious. An excellent keeper and fine for shipping.

delicious mildly acid flavor; hardy and ships well.

Glen Mary. Large conical berry, bright red in color, and finely
flavored.

of very rich flavor. Does not readily rot on the vines.

tion. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted
extensively until its adaptability is ascertained.

The berries are large, of conical form; dark red; fine texture and of
remarkable sweet flavor.

is sufficient for a space 15 x 20 feet; 800 to 1000 lbs. per acre.
