STRAWBERRIES. In Preparing a Strawberry bed, it is better to begin in the fall by spading or plowing deeply in November, but good results can usually be obtained if this is done just as soon as possible in the spring. After making the soil as fine as possible, plants may be set 18 inches apart each way, if for garden, or 14 inches apart in rows 3 feet wide, if for field culture. One row out of ' every four must be of perfect flowering va- rieties. Set the plants with trowel), or in any way convenient,eo that the roots extend down into the soil, and are all covered, the crowns appearing just above the sur-ace of perfect. the ground. Firm very carefully; large beds imperfect. should be rolled as soon as set out. Cultivate or hoe soon after setting and of- ten enough to keep all weeds down. Let enough runners take root to make the rows 12 inches wide with plants standing 6 inches apart each way; then care- fully remove all other runners, and remember that the sucress of your bed de- pends largely on the care with which this work is done. Keep up this treat- ment until stopped by winter, then mulch with straw and you have only to wait for your crop, one of the most certain, profitable, delightful and interest- ing that can be grown. Bone meal, ashes, or well rotted manure may be ap- plied any time in the early summer to advantage. Those varieties marked [imp] are imperfeet in blocsom, and need at least every fourth row to be planted with some perfect or staminate port. Those marked [per] are especially good to use as ttaminates. or to be grown alone.
