Although this latter sys- tem is quite a popular one, only from one-third to one-half the crop is obtained the first season. Its advocates, however, show^ that by so doing, a previous hoed crop may be obtained. Pot- grown plants cost more than the ordinary field-grown. No plant needs more care in transplanting. The crown should be on a level with the soil, no lower, no higher; the roots should not be allowed to get dry. Dip them in water when they begin to get dry. Trim the roots back at least one- third and spread them fan shape when setting, filling in gradu- ally ; firm well. Distance apart to set plants depends npon how they are to be trained.—There are two methods of setting out strawberry plants commonly practiced, each of which depends upon the proposed system of training. These are (a) Hill culture, which, as the term implies, consists in growing each plant by itself in a hill, not allowing the runners to grow or flowers to.
