First of the small fruits in the month of June comes the beautiful, wholesome and 

 appetizing Strawberry. The profits which result from its cultivation whefi properly 

 conducted, are enough to satisfy the highest expectations. 



Plant in April, May, September, October, on good ground, deeply worked and 

 well manured. Vegetable manure (muck, rotted turf, wood soil, ashes, etc.) is the 

 best. Bone dust is excellent. Set in 3 feet rows, 15 inches apart in row for field cul- 

 ture, and 15 inches each way for garden, leaving a pathway at every third row. Keep 

 in hills with runners cut, unless troubled with the white grub. Cultivate clean, mulch 

 late in the Fall, uncover plants early in Spring, remove mulch after fruiting, and spade 

 in light dressing of manure. .
