BEPOKT ON STBAWBEBBIES GBOWN AT CHISWICK, 



1896. 



The Fruit and Vegetable Committee examined sixty stocks 

 of Strawberries planted in the autumn of 1895. The plants had 

 made good growth generally, in spite of the exceptionally dry 

 winter and spring. No watering or other artificial means to 

 produce any extra good results had been adopted, except a mulch 

 of strawy manure applied late in the season to keep the fruit 

 clean. The rows were 2 feet 6 inches apart, and 18 inches from 

 plant to plant in the rows, a distance which permits full develop- 

 ment of the plants, and also free access to gather the fruit. All 

 planted August 29, 1895. 



F.C.C.=Fiest Class Ceetificate.
