Ferhlize Now For The Best
Strawberries Next Spring

Hungry for fresh strawber-
ries again? Fresh Strawberries
on the table are a long way off
but the beginning of the new
crop will soon start.
1t may be hard to believe
but in the heart of the crown
OF the well rooted strawberry
plant fruit bud formation will
soon take place. Fruit bud in
itiation usually takes place ir
mid-September in the coun-
tains of North Carolina, week
or two later in the Piedmont
and a week or so still later in
the Coastal Plain.
Nitrogen is the important
fertilizer element for fruit bud
formation, says John Nelson
horticulture specialist as State
College. A plentiful supply OF
nitrogen should be available to
the plant during bud forma-
ton.
Phosphate and potash are al
so essential for proper growth.
They are not needed in as
large amounts as is nitrogen,
however. There should be
enough phosphate and potash
remaining in the soil from last
springs fertilization to supply
the plants needs, Nelson says.
So for the most bountiful
harvest of luscious berries next
spring, Nelson urges the ap-
plication of nitrogen now. For
each 100 foot of row, three
pounds of 16 per cent mater
ial or 212 pounds of a 33 per
cent nitrogen should be appli-
ed.
For the larger planting, 800
pounds of nitrate of soda or
$50 pounds ammonium nitrate
per acre should be used.
Broadcast directly over the
plants. Apply only when leaves
are dry. Brush excess fertiliz-
er from the leaves Immediate
ly. An old broom or a weighted
burlap suspended under the
tractor will be satisfactory.
