PERFECT—versus—IMPERFECT 
Flowering Strawberries. 
The blossoms of strawberries are either staminate (perfect flowering) 
or are destitute of stamens and are termed pistillate (imperfect flower- 
ing). Pistillate varieties must have a row of some perfect flowered sort 
flowering at the same time planted every nine or twelve feet apart 
among them, or better yet, every third or fourth plant in the row, to pol- 
lenize their blossoms. When properly pollenized the pistillate varieties 
are usually the most prolific. 
STAMINATE OR BRIEF DIRECTIONS FOR CULTURE. ree ELATE OR 
7 LOWERING. 
St ries require rich, well-tilled soil; the plants should be set 15 inches apart, in rows 2 feet apart; 100 plafits will 
plant 4 rows, 30 feet long; an acre requires 14,520 plants if set at the above distance, but for horse cultivation they should be 
set f part, in rows 3 feet apart, requiring 7,260 plants for an acre. Firm the plants well in the soil, keep thoroughly 
and cut off all runners. In the middle of December cover the beds to a depth of 3 inches with salt meadow hay, 
aves. In April as soon as the plants show an indication of growth, push the covering away from the plants to 
them to come up through. This ‘‘ mulching "’ protects the plants from the cold in winter and the heat in summer, 
»s the fruit clean, and prevents the growth of weeds.
