CULTURE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE STRAWBERRY. 



Tlie §oil afsd Its Proparatiosi. The Strawberry may be successfully 

 grown in any soil adapted to the growth of ordinary field or garden crops. The 

 ground should be 7e'^// prepared, by trenching or ploughing at least eighteen to 

 twenty inches deep, and he _properly enriched as for any garden crop. It is un- 

 necessary to say that if the land is wet, it must be thoroughly drained. 



:Sea§on for Trail§plantiiBg'. In the Northern States the season for planting 

 in the Spring is during the months of April and May. It may then be done 

 with safety from the time the plants begin to grow until they are in blossom. 

 This is the time we prefer for setting out large plantations.
