SmflliLi fruits. The small fruits, such as Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Gooseberries, Currants, etc., ripening from the first of June till Fall, are everywhere capable of suc- cessful cultivation, and yield large returns at comparatively small expense. They should have a place in every garden. Since the introduction of self-sealing jars and cans, they can be had throughout the year almost as fresh as when gathered. First of the Small Fruits in the month of June comes the beautiful, wholesome and appetizing Strawberry. The profits which result from its cultivation, when properly conducted, are enough to satisfy the highest expectations. Plant in March, April, May, September, October, on good ground, deeply worked and well manured. Vegetable manure (muck, rotted turf, wood soil, ashes, etc.) is the best. Bone dust is excellent. Set in 3 feet rows, 19 inches apart in row for field cul- ture, and 15 inches each way for garden, leaving a pathway at every third row. Keep in hills with runners cut, unless troubled with the white grub. Cultivate clean, mulch late in the Fall, uncover plants early in Spring, remove mulch after fruiting, and spade in light dressing of manure. Bidwell—One of the very best, abundantly productive, full average size, excellent fiavor and one of the very earliest. Big Bob—A. tine variety for either market or private gardens. Fruit of large size and of good quality; ripens moderately early. It is a pistillate variety, requiring some other perfect flowering sort to be planted near it. Bubach (P.)—Strong, rampant grower, like the Crescent, only making plants and foliage of twice the size ; healthy and free from rust
