STRAWBERRIES—^ Strawberries delight in a well-enriched, moist, deep soil, but will succeed upon almost any soil if well manured. Avoid the shade of trees. For hill culture in the family garden set the plants in rows two feet apart and the plants fifteen inches apart in the rows, or if to be work- ed by horse and cultivator make the rows two and a half to three feet apart and the plants one foot apart in the rows. In either case cut off all runners as they ap- pear. If to be sown in matted rows plant in rows from three to four feet apart and the plants a foot apart in the rows, permitting the runners to grow at will. At the approach of winter, as soon as ground is frozen, cover the rows with salt hay or other loose, light material. Light strawy manure is excellent for this purpose. The blossoms of all varieties here offer- ed are bi-sexual or perfect, except those marked with the letter P, which are des- titute of stamens and are termed pistillate or imperfect. Pistillate varieties must have a perfect flowered variety planted near them to properly pollenize their blossoms, in the proportion of one row of perfect flowered plants to about every three or four rows of pistillates. If but one variety be grown, it is of course, es- sential that it be a perfect-flowered sort and not a pistillate one. It is best al- ways to plant at least three varieties,—early, medium and late—to expand to the season of fmiting to its full limits.
