STRAWBERRIES. 



The first part of the strawberry season was favourable. The plants were strong 

 and healthy, and the crop good, but after the second picking, we had long continued 

 warm heavy rains, which spoiled at least half of the remaining crop, as the berries 

 were too soft for shipping.
