TRAWBERRIES In our latitude, early Strawberries ripen in April—the lirst of the small fruits; by planting a selection from the varieties given below, a succession can be had for a month. Strawberries are a sure crop, either on the first or second blooming; they are very protitable when grown in quantity, an acre often yielding S500 to SSoo worth of berries in a single season. Almost any soil will grow Strawberries, but the best is well-drained or sandy ground. If too light, add fertilizer testing 8 per cent phosphoric acid, 4 per cent potash and 2 or 3 per cent ammonia, at the rate of 300 to 400 lbs. per acre. Plant from September to October, or during ]\Iarch and April; setting the plants 15 inches apart in the row, in rows 3 feet apart is about right for field culture; for gardens, 15 inches apart each way is sufficient, leaving space for a walk every third row. Cultivate thoroughly, and pinch off all runners to throw the strength into the main plant. The following varieties, which we have found to be the best for home and market, are named in the order or their ripening. Excelsior. The standard earlv varietv. Plants healthy and productive. Climax. A large, firm berry; one of the very best and most productive. Excellent flavor. Early to midseason. Heflin. Ripens after Excelsior; the largest we grow. \'aluable for home use. Lady Thompson. Undisputedly the best midseason berry for home and mar- ket. It succeeds well throughout the country. Color, quality and plant all good. Greensboro Favorite. Medium size;, deep, rich red. Large as Lady Thompson, more prolific, bears ten days longer. Plants strong, deeply rooted, bearing well in dry weather. Strong plant; good keeper. Bubach. Large, showy, well colored and fine. This is a pistill
