STRAWBERRIES. 



Strawberries delight in a well-enriched, moist, deep soil, but will succeed upon almost any soil if well manured. 



Avoid the shade of trees. For hill culture in the family garden 

 set the plants in rows two feet apart and the plants fifteen 

 inches apart in the rows, or if to be worked by horse and cultiva- 

 tor make the rows two and half to three feet apart and the plants 

 one foot apart in the rows. In either case cut off all runners as 

 tbey appear. If to be grown in matted rows plant in rows from 

 three to four feet apart and the plants a foot apart in the rows, 

 permitting the runners to grow at ?vill. At the approach of 

 winter, as soon as ground is frozen, cover the rows with salt hay 

 or other loose, light material. Light strawy manure is excel- 

 lent for this purpose. Evergreen branches are very useful for 

 securing the covering in place and are of themselves a protection. 



The blossoms of all varieties here offered are bi-sexual or 

 perfect, except those marked with the letter P, which are desti- 

 tute of stamens and are termed pistillate or imperfect. Pistillate 

 varieties must have a perfect flowered variety planted near them 

 to properly poll^nize their blossoms, in the proportion of one row 

 of perfect flowered plants to about every three or four rows of 

 pistillates. If but one variety be grown, it is, of course, essen- 

 tial that it be a perfect-flowered sort and not a pistillate one. It 

 is best always to plant at least three varieties — early, medium 

 and late, — to expand tlie season of fruiting to its full limits.

STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY. 



A true Raspberry of herbaceous habit, exceed- 

 ingly novel and unique both in plant and fruit, 

 and so ornamental as to be worthy of a place in 

 the garden for that reason alone. It is a won- 

 derful grower, always clean and vigorous, with 

 a mass of deep green foliage and large, fragrant, 

 pure white blossoms, and although it suckers 

 immoderately it is extremely hardy and is pro- 

 lific in bearing for a period of some ten or twelve 

 weeks — from early in July until frost. The 

 berries are of enormous size, of the richest shade 

 of bright crimson imaginable and are in very 

 truth the most exqnisitely beautiful of any ber- 

 ry we have ever looked upon; but sadly defi 

 cient in flavor. When cooked or preserved, 

 however, it is very good, and excellent when 

 done up with some other red raspberry. It has 

 been claimed to be a hybrid of the Strawberry 

 and the Raspberry but we do not think this to. 

 be the case. Ordinary or sucker plants, doz., 50c; 

 pot, 12c. ea., per pot; doz., $1.00; 100, $5.00.
