Edwards. [Mr. Edwards is a loading grape grow- er.] STRAWBERRIES, See prices on last pages. First of the small fruits, in the months of April and May, comes the beautiful, wholesome and appetizing strawberry. The profits which may re- sult from its cultivation, when properly conducted, are enough to satisfy the highest expectations. Plant in March, April, May, September, October or Nov- ember, on good ground. Vegetable manure, rotted turf, wood soil, ashes, &c., are best, bone dust is excellent. Set in three feet rows, 15 inches apart in row for field culture, and 15 inches each way for garden, leaving a pathway at every third row. Keep in hills with runners cut. Cultivate clean, mulch late in the fall; uncover the crowns early in Spring; remove mulch after fruiting, and spade in light dressing of manure. Pistulate varieties (marked P,) have imperfect blossoms. Some of them are among the most productive varieties, as is proven by Crescent Seedbng, West- brook and others, provided a row or bed of some hermaphrodite (perfect blossomed) like Wilson, Mitchell's Early, Sparpless, &c, is planted within 10 or 20 feet of them Tlie Parker Earle Strawberry- Still 'on top' and to stay.
