Nursery Firm Harvests Strawberries From Small Tract
The Times Record notes Northwest Nursery near the river east of town is bearing about 1 000 crates from ten acres of Progressive Ever fruiting plants. A record 20 crates were picked Monday morning, with daily yields rising as berries ripen on vines. The Progressives require ample plant food and cultivation, and are kept from bearing in July. The nursery spans 440 acres across both riverbanks, plans a riverfront boulevard, and their grounds feature roses and fruit trees that attract orders for fall and spring. The piece also includes a brief obituary tribute to H V Church from the Sanborn Enterprise.
