STRAWBERRIES* Any moderately rich soil will produce strawberries, but we prefer land re- cently cleared or broom straw land, thoroughly plowed, harrowed, and put in fine condition ; then stretch line three and a half feet apart, and set plants one to two feet apart in rows. Manure may be applied to land, but we prefer some good plant fertilizer, because the manure is apt to contain clover and other grass seeds, which are very objectionable in strawberry rows. Cultivate enough to keep all weeds and grass down. If harrow is run over land soon after rains, it will keep land clean of grass, and will turn runners into the row, which forms a mat, and will help to prevent grass in rows. In spring land should have a light mulch, which prevents berries from being gritty, and also helps to keep up moisture in dry weather. The blossoms ot those marked with the letter "P " are deslitute of stamens, and are termed pistillate or imperfect bloomers, and require some perfect bloom- ing sort to be planted in every third or fourth row to fertilize them. These pistil- late sorts, as a rule, are our most productive and best varieties. Planting may be done in fall or spring-. Plants at dozen rates will be mailed free; at 100 rates add 25 cen
