be plenty of humus in this soil, and enough 
plant food to grow the plants properly as 
well as to produce a full crop of juicy fruit. 
It is of particular importance that the ques- 
tion of moisture have very careful con- 
sideration, as at the season of this plant’s 
blossoming and subsequent fruiting it is oft- 
times quite dry. If necessary, some form of 
irrigation, as spoken of in another chapter, 
should be practised. 
PLANTING 
The planting of the fall-bearing straw- 
berries does not differ materially from that 
of the more common varieties. Being, 
however, a newer type, and in some cases 
a test or experiment, it is advisable to 
start carefully, and to follow a somewhat in-

or double hedge-row method. These methods 
are also suitable as these fall varieties do 
not have a tendency to produce many plants. 
CULTURAL METHODS 
Clean culture and intensive work, the 
methods considered in another chapter, 
should be the system employed with these
