MANURING AND PREPARING THE GROUND 25 



strawberry bed. It is a good plan to use fertilizers as 

 above, the first season, then with a thick mulch of 

 good horse stable manure, well freed from the seeds 

 of obnoxious plants, put on in the early winter. I do 

 not often fail in getting a fine crop of berries, unless 

 something unforeseen occur.
