/^NE OFZ/ji- most profitable ^nd. most salable crops the fruit grower can produce is strawberries and 
Minnesota berries lake precedence over all others on the open market in sweetness, flavor 
hrmncss and all other qualities that make for desirability in 
the salable article. 
STRAWBERRIES K'lV/ succted in any good 
soil that is adapted to ordinary farm 
crops, though if this can be ejriched 
with a fertilizer of well rotted barn- 
yard manure, the results will be 
more gratifying. Prepare the soil 
to a good depth and drain 
thoroughly. To produce fine 
large berries plant in hills, for 
garden culture, i8 inches 
apart each way, but for field 
culture 3 >2 feet one way and 
i8 inches the other and pinch 
off runners as soon as they 
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 keep 
the soil from^ thawing and freezing, 
which is so injurious lo the roots. Re- 
move the covering in the early spring wlicn 
the plants begin to grow, leaving a part 
of it between the rows to act as a mulch 
and to keep the fruit clean. By planting early, medium and late varieties 
of strawberries, a succession of fruit is obtained throughout the season.

Perfect AND Imperfect Blossoms 
THE VARltriKS marked " f" have perfect 
blossoms aud 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 
little fruit. When thus fertilized, though, thcv 
are more prolific and the fruit is much lint 
than that of the perfect varieties. Plants set oui in 
.\ugust or September will bear the following June
