THE STRAWBERRY. 



The circumstances of soil and climate greatly influence the varieties 

 of this fruit, botli in its productiveness and quality ; hence the wide 

 difference of opinion upon their respective merits. Fortunately there 

 are varieties enough to suit all soils and tastes; and each cultivator can, 

 by careful experiment, discover which of the most popular varieties are 

 suited to his circumstances. The best months for planting in this 

 vicinity are September and October for the autumn, and March and 

 April in the spring ; the spring months are generally preferred by all 

 our extensive fruit-growers. When planted in beds for garden culture, 

 the plants can be set from 12 to 15 inches apart, each Avay. For field 

 culture the rows are about 3 feet apart, and 12 inches in the rows. 



PoT-GEOTA'N Plants of the leading six sorts, viz. : Boyden^s No. 30, 

 Great American, Monarch of the West, Black Defiance, Triomphe de 

 Gand, and Albany Seedling, are ready the middle of August, and when 

 planted out at this season in rich soil and ])rotected during the winter with 

 a covering of leaves or straw, will give the following spring a very good 

 crop. When strawberries are set out from those layered in pots, every 

 plant will live, while the open ground plants are very difficult to trans- 

 ]ilant to insure srrowing. Pot-grown plants of the above sorts, S2.00 per 

 50 ; S3.00 per 100.
