Strawberries 
The strawberry season in California is from April till the end of October. As a rule strawberries 
are a paying crop. The plants should be set out in the late fall or early winter months. For field 
K^ulture they should be planted 1 to IJ.feet in the row and four feet between the rows, leaving a water ditch 
about 2 feet, as per diagram below.

At the time of planting the ground should be in good condition and moLstened, either by irrigation 
or rains. Be sure that tlie land i.s even, so that the water will run During the fir t year some otiier 
crop is u-iually planted between the rows, onions as a rule. It is usual to go over the beds in the fall 
with a sickle and cut off the old crop of leaves close to the root crown ; care, however, must be taken to 
clean up the plantation before the rains set in. The same strawberry beds may be used four years in 
succession and should then be replanted. Pistillate varieties must not be set by themselves. The sorts 
most largely grown in the State, however, have perfect flowers. 
For home culture plant strawberries 1 to 2 ftct apart and treat the same as in field culture. Do not 
give surface watering with the bos;, because this bakes the top of the ground to a crust ; but with a hoe 
make a little trench alougsiJe of the rows for the water to run in.
