222S. Strawberries. — The British Queen is one of the best in cultivation ; but 

 all soils do not suit it, and in others the apex remains green and hard when 

 the rest of it is ripe. It is now generally believed that the plants require pi'o- 

 tection during severe winters, and that a light covering of fern^ pea-haum, 

 straw, or other light material, will preserve the plants in vigour at a slight 

 cost.

 Alpines, — the best late bearers. 

 Hautbois, — has peculiar flavour. 



Black Prince,— a good early sort. 

 Keen's seedling, — an excellent sort for 



general use. 

 British Queen,— is excellent for flavour 



where it succeeds. 



2229. Standard Fruit-trees. — Thin out ill-placed branches, and where 

 languid growth and barrenness have been engendered by exhausted soil, 

 dig a trench round the tree and lay in some barrowfuls of rich fresh soil ; 

 then fork over the surface, and give a dressing of well-rotted stable manure. 

 "Where the exhaustion arises from the tap-root having penetrated to an un. 

 wholesome subsoil, dig a trench deep enough to reach the root, and sever it 

 from the tree if it is one worth preserving, and fill up the trench again with 

 good fresh soil, and top-dress with manure.
