benefited by the removal of their leaves by mowing i 

 It is well known that the flowers which appear mfr 

 spring of one year, are formed and stored up ia^ 

 heart of the plant in the autumn of the year preeedb 

 and it is also equally true that this process cannott 

 perfect unless the leaves are in a condition to perf<» 

 their natural functions freely and healthfully. N ow ^ 

 Strawberry-beds of several years' standing, there'*- 

 always be found a profusion of leaves, of which a p* 



longer footstalks than the younger useful leave*,*,* 

 above them and obstruct the light, thus prevent, 

 the latter from performing their elaborative functioi 

 freely and healthfully, and, as a matter of count 

 retarding the formation of the embryo blossoms. H, 

 then, a bed in such a condition has all its leaves mon 

 off (it being impracticable to remove only the oldooa 

 at a proper season, that is, immediately after the fin- 

 is all gathered, and is then assisted to produce net 



ing if the weather is dry, I will venture to affirm tk 

 such bed will produce a better crop of fruit than if i 

 had been similarly manured and watered without B
