Strawberries. 
J 
With a small patch of strawberries 
in one's garden a surprisingly large 
quantity of berries can be picked 
during the fruiting season. Fresh 
berries from the garden are very su- 
perior to the ordinary fruit stand 
berry, both in appearance and deli- 
cacy of flavor. 
Varieties marked (P.) are pistillate; (S.) stami- 
nate. Every fifth row or about every fifth plant in 
the row should be a staminate variety to get the heav- 
iest yield of fruit.
