The profits that may result from its cultivation, when properly conducted, are enough to satisfy the highest expectations. Plants in March, April, May, September or October, on good ground, deeply worked and well manured. Vegetable manure (muck rotted turf, wood soil, ashes, etc.) is the best. Bone dust is excellent. Set in 3^ foot rows, 15 inches apart in row for field culture, and 15 inches each way for garden. Cultivate clean, mulch late in the fall, uncover crown early in spring, remove mulch after fruiting, and spade in light dressing of manure. Don't Forget.—Strawberry plants will be mailed postpaid at dozen prices. Add 20c to hundred prices to pay postage. TWO NEW STRAWBERRIES.
