Strawberry Is a Favorite 



The strawberry leads the lists of small fruits in popularity because of its 

 wide range of adaptation to soil and climatic condition, says the vegetable gar- 

 den expert. The large number of varieties gives a long season of the most 

 delicious fruit. Its ease of culture and its early season of bearing make it a 

 desirable home and market crop. The strawberry is most productive in a 

 sandy loam soil, but if this type of soil is not available it may be grov n with 

 good results in many of the heavier soils. Freshly broken land is usual]} ideal 

 for a strawberry bed provided it has first been planted to some cultivated crop, 

 such as potatoes. Sod land is likely to be infested with white grubs which are 



dangerous to a tender plant. Clipping from Farming Business.
