STRAWBERRIES. 
The ground for a Strawberry bed should be moderately enriched and thoroughly and deeply worked before planting. Keep the ground 
])(n-f('('tly clean and iiii-Uow the first year, and allow the plants to spread, but not to bear fruit. After the tirst season keep the runners 
pinched off. The beds should l)e covered with long manure or salt hay in the aiitumn. This will protect the plants from the severity of 
winter; also, will help to smother the weeds and keep the fruit clean in summer. 
For field culture, plant in rows 3 feet apart, 1 to 2 feet apart in the row; 7,2G0 to 14,520 i)lants per acre. For garden culture, plant 1 by 2 
feet a[)ai-t. in iiarniw beds. 
Sorts marked Per. liave perfect blossoms, and do not need other sorts to fertilize thcui. Those marked Imp. have imperfect blossoms, 
and reipiire sonic perfect-tloworing sort near by to fertilize them. 
Our Strawberry plants quoted herein are put up especially for the retail trade, and are large and finely-rooted — a bunch of fifty of them 
Ijcing fully as large as one hundred ordinarily grown plants. They are dug from young beds which have never yet fruited.
