100 MODERN STRAWBERRY GROWING 
were a newly set patch. In fact, the whole 
idea in this renewing is nothing more than 
the saving of the cost of setting a new bed or 
saving the hand work where good labour is 
scarce. 
Generally, a grower will practise rotation 
of crops, taking but one crop from his bed 
and setting out another on an entirely new 
piece of land; believing that what little saving 
there may be in renewing the old bed will be 
greatly counterbalanced by the larger size 
of fruit, freedom from insects and diseases, 
and better physical and chemical conditions 
of his soil.
