TRAWBERRiES zvtll succeed n a^iy good 
soil that is adapted to ordina / farm 
crops, though if this can be enriched 
with a fertilizer of well rottea barn- 
yard manure, the results will be 
more gratifying. Prepare e soil 
to a good depth and c rain 
thoroughly. To produc^: -:ne 
large berries plant in hills, jr 
garden culture, i8 incht. 
apart each way, but for fie 
culture feet one way aiic 
18 inches the other and pine \ 
off runners as soon as thc/ 
appear. The ground should 
always be kept clean and well 
cultivated, and after it is frozen 
in the fall, should be covered with 
a light litter of leaves and straw, 
enough to shade the plants and kc( 
the soil from thawing and freezi 
which, is so injurious to the roots, 
move the covering in the early spring when 
the plants begin to grow, leaving a pari 
of It between the rows to act as a mulch 
and to keep the fruit clean. By planting early, medium and late varict'es 
of strawberries, a succession of fruit is obtained throughout the season.

Perfect AND Imperfect Blossoms 
THE VARIETIES marked "P" have perfect 
blossoms and will bear fruit abundantly 
without being mixed with other varieties. 
Varieties marked "X", however, have imper- 
fect blossoms, that is, they are "Pistillate," 
having no stamens, and should be mixed with 
or planted among other or perfect varieties to 
be properly fertilized, or they will produce very 
liitfe fruit. When thus fertilized, though, they 
are more prolific and the fruit is much finer 
than that of the perfect varieties. Plants set out in 
MPERFECT BLOSSOM August or September will bear the foUowiojt Juae.
