successful strawberry culture is the de- 

 sired end, and first, — the situation for 

 a strawberry bed should be protected 

 from sweeping winds and also from the 

 burning hot sun of a southern hillside. 

 Then the soil must not be too wet or 

 too dry, and the plants when set should 

 be thoroughly cultivated, weeded and 

 protected in winter. 



If possible, choose the land for a 

 strawberry bed with a slight slope, 

 enough to drain off surface water, but 

 yet not so steep that the soil will wash 

 during heavy rains. If you have no 

 choice and must use fiat land, see that 

 there are no low places where water 

 will stand and cover the plants in win- 

 ter. If the land chosen is too wet, and 

 by "too wet" I mean that the ground 

 water is nearer than one foot from the 

 surface, it must be drained the same 

 way; a convenient method is with tiles 

 or stone drains. Dry land can be im- 

 • proved by the addition of macadam 

 mud and plenty of manure, but better 

 results will follow from the choice of 

 the moist land, for during the fruiting 

 season moisture is needed to fill out 

 the berries and bring them to perfec- 

 tion. A safe rule to follow is that land 

 that will grow good corn can be relied 

 upon for strawberries.
