New Principles of Gardening. 
produce wonderful fine Fruit very early, for the Space of four 
or five Years, but not jonger. If this Kind of Strawberry be 
admitted to run thick in a Bed, they will produce fine coloured 
Fruit, but not fo /oov asthe /mgle Roots by a Fortnight, and in 
dry Seafons are very apt to burn up. | 
The Hautboy hath the fame Duration and Management as the. 
Scarlet, it differing only in the Goodnefs of Land. | 
The Wood-Strawberry delights in a very rich Land, and are 
planted in Beds, fomewhat more than three Feet wide, their _ 
Rows from each other being about eight Inches; and as the 
Scarlet and Hautboy-Strawberries are generally kept to fingle 
Roots, thefe are let run together in their Beds allina Mat, and 
the Alleys between them digg’d in the Winter. | 
N. &. That when you plant Wood-Strawberries, "tis beft to 
plant the Runners as are got from Woods, where the Land as 
they grow in is very poor, and not fuch Runners as may be had 
from old planted Strawberries of the Guarden, for they degenerate 
in fix Years Time. | 
I cannot by any Means commend the Pra&tice of the Ham- 
mer fimith Gardeners (as mention’d by Mr. Bradley, Part. Il. 
Page 49.) of their planting Savoys and Cabbages for Winter in 
the Alleys of the Strawberry Beds, whofe Roots doth very 
much exhauft the Goodnefs of the Ground, and beggar the 
Strawberries growing on the Sides of each Bed. 
Wherever Plantations of Strawberries are made, gteat Care 
fhould be taken to have Plenty of Water very eafily whilft they 
are in Blioom, and during the Ripening of their Frait alfo; 
paige in dry Seafors, for Want of Water, the Crop will foon 
e over. 
If Strawberries of three Years Growth be planted in Flower- 
Pots, and placed in a gemtle. Hot-Bed, about the Middle of ¥a- 
nuary, they will produce Fruit in March. : 
You muft obfervein their Management, that they are vot over- 
heated, that they are not confin’d too much, and deffroy’d by the 
Steam, but give them enough of 47, fo as not to let in Froffs, 
told Winds, c. that they have moderate W. aterings with warm. 
Water when in Bloom, and not f{tifled for want of 4r.
