tion, allowing the plants to make run- 

 ners. You should remove any flowers 

 carried by the plants which are spring 

 planted. 



Strawberries of any kind are not good 

 for more than two seasons. It is best 

 to make a new bed each year. With 

 hand culture and late summer planting 

 you can get quicker and better returns 

 than from spring planting, but if the 

 plants are grown on a large scale I 

 would run the rows three to four feet 

 apart, to permit horse culture. Straw- 

 berries succeed best on land which has 

 been liberally manured. They do spe- 

 cially well on land vacated by early 

 peas and beans. C. W.
