THE STRAWBERRY APRIL 1907 



on some strawy manure for a mulch. Now 

 when should I take this off? Should it I e 

 removed from the field entirely or should it 

 be worked into the land as a fertilizer? The 

 land is not very rich, as I have not had it 

 long enough to manure it as it should be. 



If the plants you set last September 

 made a good growth last fall and start 

 growing vigorously this spring, a light 

 crop of strawberries will do them no injtiry. 

 The strawy manure should be removed 

 as soon as growth starts this spring, and 

 the strawy parts should be left around 

 (he plants to keep rhe berries clean. The 

 decayed matter may be cultivated into the 

 soil between the rows. When necessary 

 to irrigate make a furrow between the 

 rows and run the water into these furrows. 

 This is all that is necessary to insure you 

 a crop of berries. After the berries are 

 all picked, then the entire surface should 

 be cultivated except where the plants are 

 setting and enough plants allowed to set 

 10 make a double-hedge row.
