STRAWBERRIES. 



[HOVEY'S SEEDLING.; 

 jFhe Strawberry is universally esteemed the most delicious, as well as the most wholesbme ol 

 lits. Every proprietor of a garden, be it ever so small, should have his Strawberry bed, and 

 e it regular, attentive culture. With proper culture in our region, it attains great perfection. 

 jThe fine, new American Seedlings, produce fruit of unrivalled size and beauty here ; and in the 

 ghboring village of Palmyra, a very careful grower, Col. Stoddard, has raised a seedling Al- 

 le, which is one of the wonders of the season, tor its extraordinary size and productiveness. — 

 'ie Albany Cultivator^ for August, 1845.] He has sold the plants to his neighbors for fifty 

 Its each ; and enormous quantities of the fruit, at large prices. These facts give great encour- 

 ement for the culture of the Strawberry, 



Soil and Culture. — The best soil, is a deep, rich, mellow loam. When the soil is not of 

 8 character naturally, it should be made so, by trenching and manuring before planting. 

 Strawberry plantations can be made in April or.May, in the Spring — and August and Septem- 

 in the Autumn. The latter season is to be preferred. The situation should be open to the 

 1 and air. In planting in roios, which is the best method, the rows should be two, or two and 

 lalf feet apart, and the plants from eighteen inches to two feet, in the rows. The larger grow- 

 l sorts having the large spaces. The runners must be cut off three or four times a year — and 

 the fall, a light dressing of manure should be spaded in between the rows. In the colder dis- 

 3ts, the plants should be protected in Winter by putting rough manure or litter around them, 

 ving the top or centre of the plant uncovered ; or, it does very well to cover the beds entirely 

 th leaves or straw. Plantations should be renewed every fourth or fifth year at most. The 

 lowing list comprises the ftewest and most estimable sorts at present known :
