Dip the roots of the plants in it, and be sure that all the roots are moistened. Heel them in the ground near where you are to plant strawberry planted them, and if the sun is very warm cover the leaves with hay, straw or sea grass. Avoid planting on awindy day ; ten minutes' wind is worse on the roots of plants than one hour's sun. Only drop a few of the plants in advance of the planter. Set the plants not less than three feet apart between the rows, and twelve inches in the rows. Set the plant Plant the pistillate varieties between the perfect-flowering kind, having a row of the perfect varieties to every third row of the imperfect varieties. If you are planting in a large way, make a furrow some six inches deep, and set the roots in it straight down. Draw the soil around the plants with the hands, and so firm the soil around them that the leaf of the plants will break in two before the plants will allow themselves to leave their places. The remainder of the furrow can be readily leveled in with the hoe. If you have only a family bed to set, draw a straight line and use the garden trowel to make place for the plants, and firm the ground around 1 hem with the hands and weight of the body, thus you will always leave the ground level around them. Should the ground be dry, or the sun very warm, use any mulching material at hand (that will admit of light and air) to shade the plants for a few days, or until you have rain.
