The plat runs through two seasons, it is true, but a new one must be set out each year. If strawberry growing was commenced in 1890 under a biennial rotation, and the planting etfected in Novem- ber of each year, the following diagram would illustrate the necessary succession of plats: 1899 I'.iOO Xo. 1, planted November, ISW.
