THE STRAWBERRY. 41 



Autumnal Dressings to be attended to. 



pletely dressed thus early in the autumn, the 

 manure administered will be in good propor- 

 tion washed into the ground by winter rains, 

 and, together with the soil, become well set- 

 tled to the roots of the plants, that on the 

 earliest approach of spring, without the small- 

 est impediment to their progress, they will 

 have every possible advantage contributing to 

 their full growth. The second season after 

 planting, ample crops of Strawberries, in every 

 variety, may with confidence be looked for.— 

 We refer to the former year for their spring 

 and summer treatment. 



The Strawberry being a very hardy plant, 

 and of great durability, the beds, on being ma- 

 naged as we have directed, will continue in a 

 full bearing state about four years; but it will 

 be peculiarly necessary that the autumnal 

 dressings be punctually regarded.
