STRAWBERRIES. 
These delight in good rich soil, but will grow 
on any soil capable of growing good general crops. 
By planting early, medium and late varieties, fruit 
Is supplied the entire season. As a fertilizer we 
recommend well rotted barnyard manure. 
For field culture plant in rows 3'/^ feet apart, 18 
inches apart in the rows. For garden culture IS 
inches apart each way, leaving a pathway every 
tliird row. 
After ground is frozen in the fall give a light 
covering of leaves or straw, enougli to shade the 
plants, to Iceep soil from thawing and freezing 
when the sun shines. Remove covering in early 
spring when plants begin to grow. Tf part of 
covering is left between rows, It will act as a 
mulch and help to keep the fruit clean.
