FORCED STRAWBERRIES. 



It is not generally known to gardeners that the plants of the 

 Scarlet Strawberry, after affording a crop of fruit in the hot 

 house early in the spring, if carefully removed out of the pots 

 or boxes, and placed in the open ground, will yield another 

 crop of fruit in September. This second crop is very abun- 

 dant, the warm rains of July and August proving highly 

 favourable to the growth of the fruit; and as there is no 

 other Strawberry to be had at this season of the year, except 

 the Alpine, the addition of the Scarlet makes a pleasing 

 variety in the dessert.
