lOO MODERN STRAWBERRY GROWING 



were a newly set patch. In fact, the whole 

 idea in this renewing is nothing more than 

 the saving of the cost of setting a new bed or 

 saving the hand work where good labour is 

 scarce. 



Generally, a grower will practise rotation 

 of crops, taking but one crop from his bed 

 and setting out another on an entirely new 

 piece of land; believing that what little saving 

 there may be in renewing the old bed will be 

 greatly counterbalanced by the larger size 

 of fruit, freedom from insects and diseases, 

 and better physical and chemical conditions 

 of his soil.
