Bulletin Out
On Culture Of
Strawberries
Strawberries as big as a teacup?
Yes, they can be grown in parts
ef Alaska, but most Alaskan
strawberries are of normal size
and can be raised by anyone willing
to follow common cultural prac
tices.
Recognizing the growing inte
rest in the cultivation of straw
berries in the state, the University
ef Alaska Agricultural Extension
Service has completed work on a
new publication. It is titled “Cul
ture of Strawberries,” and is Ex
tension Horticultural Mimeo No.
13. Author of the publication is
Kxtensibn Horticulturist Harold
Mlsbury.
The bulletin presents general
recommendations for the culture
ef strawberries in Alaska. Local
extension agents can provide infor
mation about modifications for
their areas.
The bulletin reports that “the
first selection of strawberry varie
ties adapted to Alaska started
over 50 years ago at the research
station in Sitka. Today the only
variety recommended without res
ervation, as dependable through
nearly all Alaska is the Sitka Hy
brid.” This variety is the work of
many crosses between the wild in
terior strawberry, the coast straw
berry, and domestic varieties. The
berry is hardy, has a fine sweet
flavor, and freezes well for home
canning.
Among the points covered in the
strawberry publication are site
selection and preparation; fertili
zation; selection of plants; weed
control; disease, insect and rodent
control; harvesting of plants; and
pyramid and barrel culture. Copies

Out operating costs
on heavy equipment
Extra-performance fuels and lubricants make a big
difference in operating and repair expenses. That's
why most Alaska contractors use Standard Oil
products.
Chevron Diesel Fuel, for example, gives you engine
protection you can't get with any other diesel fuel.
Its Detergent-Action ends deposits in fuel injectors
and guards your entire fuel system against rust.
In lubricants, too. Standard products give far more
than “average" performance. RPM DELO Oils
stretch the time between overhauls by thousands
of hours . . . keep engines clean, rings free. RPM
Automotive Grease lets you meet all grease
requirements with one lubricdnt: wheel bearings,
chassis fittings, water pumps, universal joints, track
rollers.

Standard Oil Representative and find out how these
products can lower your costs.
