THE STRAWBERRY. 



Advantages of Native Soil. 



plant worthy of cultivation deserves to be 

 accommodated v^ith the most friendly soil ; 

 and in cases where it can be conveniently 

 obtained, that which is natural. 



These plants growing in any common 

 garden and earth, does not prove that every 

 soil is alike calculated to produce abundant 

 crops of well perfected fruit ; therefore, 

 clearly to conceive ariajht of the native and 

 indigenous soil, may be considered one grand 

 point obtained, and of the utmost import- 

 ance towards success. 



Whoever have directed their attention to 

 the infinity of herbaceous productions, ex- 

 ploring the boundless varieties which the 

 immense fields of nature present to the eye 

 of the diligent observer, will readily discover 

 and be free to acknowledge, that every plant 

 is found most freely to thrive and delight in 

 that peculiar soil of which it is indigenous.
