O STRAWBERRIES 
THE Scarlet Strawberry (Fig. 1. Plate LV.) is encreafed by its 
own Runners, planted at fixteen or eighteen Inches apart, in Rows about 
twenty Inches or two Feet apart, and being always kept to fingle Roots, 
will produce their Fruits very early. Some plant them nearer together, 
as about one Foot Square, in Beds chree Feet wide, with Allies of eighteen 
Inches between, and fuffer them to run among one another ; but they do 
not ripen their Fruits fo early, nor are they near fo large : however, it 
is neceflary that we fhould have fome after this Manner to fucceed the 
others chat are firft ripe from the fingle Roots : Ripe May 10, 1727. 
THE Hauthoy Strawberry (Fig. Il.) is a moft delicious as well as 
large and beautiful Fruit ; ’tis a great Bearer, and delights in a very rich 
holding Soil : It produces che beft Fruit when planted and kept at the 
fame Diftances as the fingle Roots of the Scar/et, and is encreafed by 
its own Runners as the other aforefaid : Ripe Fune 1. 
THE Wood Strawberry (Zig. II.) is another good Fruit, and a very. 
great Bearer, when planted in a frefh and rich Land, and: kept well 
water'd during their Seafon of Blofloming and Ripening, as indeed 
fhould both ‘the other Kinds preceding. This Kind is encreafed by 
Runners, as the others ; bur ’tis always found that thofe which are taken 
out of Woods and tran{planted into Gardens, produce much better and 
c= | larger
