Starting a Strawberry Bed 



Each pupil who can get even a small plot of land for 

 the purpose should start a strawberry bed. 



Enrich and dig up the soil thoroughly. Dig out and 

 burn all witch-grass or quack-grass roots. 



Spring is the best time to set the plants. If the 

 main planting is of an imperfect variety, be sure to set 

 about one-third as many of a perfect variety, placing 

 rows of the perfect between those of the imperfect.
