Tlic Soil and Its Preparation.— 'i'lie St rawliei i y may lie suecc.s,sfnily grown In any SOU adapted to the gro-wtlt 

 of onlinary field (a- garden crops. Tiie ^i-rouml slanild !«■ »■< « pi-epared by trenehiiiK or plowitiir, at least eljrhtcen 

 or twenty inches deep, and be propt r/j/ cnrkhciX as for any garden crop. It is uunoeessary to Sii.\- that, if the land is 

 wet, it nitist. bo 1 liorouyhly drained. 



To Cultivaie the St rawberry.— For family use, we recommend planting in beds four feet wide, with an alley 

 two fei't wide liet ween. 'I'liesi- beds v.- ill aecoinniodat(> (hrce rows of iiiants, wliieli may si and lilt ecu inelics apmt 

 each way, and tlie omside l ow nine iiu lies from tliealle.v. The lieds call lie Iceiit clean, and tlie I'niit can bi' gathered 

 from them Witlluut selliny Ihe IVel lip.Ml tlieiii. 



Cullure in 1 1 i lis.— Tliis is llie liesi, modetliat can lie adopted lor tli(> garden. To obtain line, largi-, liigh-fla- 

 vore<l fruit, iiincli olf tlie rniuieis as last as tliey appear, n iieatiiig the oiieratiiiu as ■.Iteii as may lie- iieiessary 

 during th(^ siinimcr and eai ly aut umii. lAcay riiimer thus reniuved )inidiiies a new eniwn in tiie eenb i- of flic 

 plant, and in the fall tlie plants will lane I'onned large bushes or stools, on Avliicii the linest, si rawberries maybe 

 e.vpeered tlie following seasmi. In i lie meantime, tlie ground among tlie plants should be kept clear of weeds, and 

 frcqiK'iitly stirred wit it a hoe orl'oik. 



Covering in Winter.- Where llie winters are severe, with little snow lor protection, a shglit covering of leaves 

 or litter, or the branches of e\ I'rgrecn.s, will lie of gr.Mt service. This co\-eriiig should not be |ilaeed o\-er the plants 

 until after the ground is frozen, usually from tile middle of Xox eiiiber till tlie lirst of Deeenilier in this locality. 

 Fatal errors are often niadi' by putting on (no war/i and Utn curlu. Care must also be taken to remove the covering 

 ill the spring, just as soon as tiie plants begin to grow'. * 



;»Iul<-Iiing to Keep the Fruit Clean.— liefore the fruit begins to ripen, mulch the ground around the plants 

 witli ,</ior( hay or straw, or gra.ss mowings from the lawn, or anything of that sort. Tliis will not oiil.v keep the 

 fruit clean, but will prevent the grcnuid from drying or baking, and thus lengthen the fruiting sea-sou. Tan bark 

 can also be used as mulch.
