In field culture let the rows be three feet apart and the plants twelve inches apart in the rows. An acre thus set will require plants. The ground should be kept free from weeds and grass and the runners cut off as they make their ap- pearance. Thorough preparation of the soil is advised before setting; then shallow cultivation afterwards, so as not to disturb the roots. In the spring the ground should be mulched around the plants, so as to keep the fruit clean. By this course a bed may be kept in good bearing condition for many years. We have given especial attention to the selection of varieties, both for the amateur W and market grower, and believe that our Planted too deep. collection embraces the very best sorts. Our plants are of the best quality, and will be furnished at very reasonable rates to those wanting therri in large quantities. We will here put in a word of caution against the flaming advertisements of new varieties that are so often heralded before the public. That there is room for im- Pistillate. provement. we admit ; but the most of these new sorts, so highly puffed, and offered at enormous prices, are destined, like the most of their predecessors, to shine but for a short time and then sink into obscurity ; perhaps, as the case has often been, to come out at some future day under a new title, to shine again for a short season. It is well enough to try those that seem to merit it. but touch them lightly until they have proved themselves good. Hold on to the standard sorts until something is found better by actual experience. Perfect Flo.
