Pleasant Valley Nurseries—New and Standard Berries. 17 Strawberries. The Strawberry delights in good, rich, moist soil, but will grow on any soil which is capable of rais- ing good general crops. By planting early, medium and late varieties, the grower is supplied with fruit during the entire Strawberry season. Plants set in the late summer or fall, under favorable circumstances, will produce fruit the following season. They must, however, be planted early, in first-class soil. There are two sys- tems of planting largely followed; viz., "hill" and "matted ; Those who wish to grow large, fine fruit, use the former ; while if quantity is to be preferred to quality, the matted row system is preferable". In hill culture, plant 15 inches apart each way, in beds 4 feet wide, with alleys of 2 feet between them. For matted rows, plant 1 foot apart, in rows 4 to 5 feet apart, for varieties which make plants freely ; for other varieties, 3 feet will answer. It is well for all to test the new varieties for themselves by setting a few plants, say a dozen or 25 of each sort. They can then judge for themselves which are best adapted to their soil, and do not have to depend upon the word of others ; for the varieties which do well in one part of the country may be a total failure somewhere else. Select the variety which is best in your locality. WE MAKE A SPECIALTY OF STRAWBERRY PLANTS, and our beds for the spring of 1901 are first-class in every respect.

Plant one row of a staminate variety to every three rows of a pistillate variety. Below we give correct
