Crawford's Catalogue, 1894 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Crawford's Catalogue, 1894 Soil. - Gravel, sand, clay or muck, so long as it con tains a good supply of available plant food, will suf fice. It should not be shaded by trees or buildings nor should there be trees near enough to sap the ground. While the strawberry needs plenty of mois ture, it will never flourish with the roots in stagnant water in the growing season, and the ground should have good natural or artificial drainage. High land is generally preferable to low land, as blossoms are more likely to be killed by frost in depressions than on elevations.
