While any land that will grow good, corn will grow good Strawberries, it will pay to have or make the land \'ery rich before planting. It takes no more work for an acre to pro- duce 150 to 200 bushels than 25 to 50 bushels. Strawberries are a fruit that we have never made a failure of. If we should have late frosts and cut oil the first blooms, there will always be a later bloom and you are always sure of half a crop of berries. In the list that we present to you they have nearly all been well tried by us, but we do not advise you to plant many varieties, as any two or three will give you all you wish for home use, and, as a market berry here, we would plant only the Ten- nessee Prolific. The blossoms of most varieties are perfect or , except those marked P., which are destitute of stamens, and are termed pistillate or imperfect fiowering varie- ties.
