Fat-Grown Strawberries. Plants set out this summer will produce a crop of fruit in June, i8gs. Our pot-grown Strawberry plants are ready for ship- ment about the middle of July, and can be supplied as late as October in such varieties as are unsold at that time. It is better, however, to procure the plants in August or September, as earlier plantings will develop larger and more vigorous plants and produce a greater crop of fruit next year, besides we are usually sold out of many varieties later in the season. Potted plants may appear expensive, yet when the labor necessary to grow them into proper condition and the time saved in the result of the crop are considered, they will be found much cheaper than ordinary layer plants. They may be planted after a crop of early sum- mer vegetables has been harvested, and a crop of fruit secured in eight or ten months after planting. S^° The reduced prices of our pot-grown Strawberry plants, this year, should enable planters to grow more largely of this delicious fruit. Pot-Grown Strawberry Plant. Directions for Garden Culture.

The beds can 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 â soil thoroughly a
