The old beds of Strawberries fliould now be 

 drefled ; in doing of which, they fliould be 

 cleaned of weeds, and the ftrings or runners 

 taken ofFclofe to the ftems of the plants; then 

 the alleys fhould be dug, and after breaking the 

 earth fine, it fhould be fpread over the beds 

 between the plants, being careful not to bury 

 them. The rows of Rafpberries (hould alfo be 

 planted, and thofe intended to remain (liould be 

 pruned, cutting out the old wood, and the 

 ground between the rows fliould be dug, which 

 will make the place neat, and greatly encou- 

 rage the plants. 



The Currant buflies may now be pruned, 

 and their branches may be tied up with a 

 withy, and the ground between them dug, 

 which may be planted with Coleworts or Cab- 

 bage plants, to remain till fpring, in which 

 place they will fometimes abide the winter, 

 v/hen they are deftroyed in more open fitua- 

 ations; for the Currant bufhes will prevent the 

 froft from penetrating fo deep into the ground, 

 as it will where the ground is entirely clear: 

 you may alfo prune Goofeberry buflies, and dig 

 up the ground between them 3 and, where 

 there is room, you may plant fome of the like 

 forts of plants, which will be taken off the 



ground
