STRAWBERRIES. 



Strawberries are easily cultivated. Moist but well-drained land is best, The soil should be 

 deeply pulverized and freely manured. In setting, do not plant deep, but press the earth firmly 

 about the plants. Plant in beds four feet wide, with alleys two feet wide between them. Put on 

 each bed three rows of plants fifteen inches apart, and the plant's the same distance apart in rows. 

 For the best results, mulching with some light material is indispensable as soon as the ground has 

 become slightly frozen. The varieties marked " Pistillate" must have a row. of staminate, or perfect 

 flowered varieties, planted, say, every ten feet among them.
