Wrong Way of Planting -/> } /i V" M'/l' <\"vV\ Right Way of Plantins Directions far Garden Culture. To cultivate the Strawberry for family use, we recommend planting iu beds four feet wide, with an alley two feet wide between each bed. These beds will accommodate three rows of plants, which may stand fifteen inches apart each way, and the outside row nine inches from the alley. The beds cau be kept clean easier and the fruit gathered without setting the feet upon them. The ground should be well prepared by trenching or plowing at least ten or twelve inches deep, and be enriched with well-rotten manure, ground bone, wood ashes, or any good fertilizer. In setting out Pot-Grown Plants, press the soil firmly about the plants and scarcely any will fail to grow. If the weather is hot and dry, wet the soil thoroughly and mulch with some coarse material until the plants are established ; keep well cultivated and free from weeds. "When the plants begin to throw out runners, they should be cut off, to establish strong plants. When the ground freezes in the early winter, cover the entire bed with salt meadow hay to the depth of one or two inches. If this cannot be had. use straw, which is improved by being cut; cornstalks, long manure, leaves, shavings or other material that will not pack and smother the plant, will answer the purpose. In the early spring remove part of the covering, and place as much as possible under the foliage of the plant, to keep the fruit clean and the weeds from growing. Plants by Express.
