beautiful condi- 
tion. Thanks /tr 
promptnrjs. 
Fruit trees are in 
bloom here, so I 
do not think we 
will have cold 
u-eather enough to 
injure them in any 
way. We expect an 
early crop this year.

MRS. fy. J. GREEN,

We Know These Berries to be of Unapproachable Quality 
sv.of the most profitable and most salable crops the fruit grower can produce is strawberries, and 
Minnesota berries take precedence over all others on the open market in sweetness, flavor, 
firmness and all other qualities that make for desirability in 
the salable article. 
STRAWBERRIES «*i7/ succted in any good 
soil that is adapted to ordinary^ farm 
crops, though if this can be e jriched 
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 H feet one way and 
|8 inches the other and pinch 
off runners as soon as they 
appear. The ground should 
always be kept clean and wcl! 
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 kcc;) 
the soil from thawing and freezing, 
which is so injurious to the roots. Re- 
move the covering in the early spring wh 
the plants begin to grow, leaving a part 
of it between the rows to act as a mulch _ 
and to keep the fruit clean. Hy planting early, medium and late varieties 
of strawberries, a sucvc^ssion of fruit is obtained throughout the season.
