In setting pistillate varieties be sure and set staminate varieties near them, either mixing them, or plant three rows of pistillate, then one of staminate. The staminate variety famishes the pollen which fertilizes its own and the blossoms of the pistillate plant. CUIXIVATION. This should be done once a week for the hill culture. It must be done with a hoe. Keep all run- ners pinched off so as to get a strong, vigorous plant in each hill. In field culture use a small tooth shallow cultivator, and when the runners start, direct them so as to fill all vacancies and form a bed one foot each side of the row; this will leave a walk two feet wide. It is best to cultivate one way only so as not to double the runners back and break them. PROTECTION. In the fall when the ground is first frozen, cover it with three inches of marsh hay or clean straw rye is best. In the spring rake the coveting into the paths and around the plants to keep the heavy rains from washing dirt on to the fruit. Pull out all weeds that start. SUMMER CARE. Immediately after iruiting mow off the tops of the plants, rake them and the straw off the beds and burn them, then with a sharp plow turn over the edges of each row, into the paths, leaving a strip of plants eight inches wide. Cultivate the ground and grow new plants as before for the next year's fruiting. Anoth
