Strawberries. 
This, the first fruit of the season, will 
succeed in any good soil if thoroughly pre- 
pared, and always kept clean and well cul- 
tivated. The finest fruit is obtained by 
keeping the runners pinched oS as fast as 
they appear. In winter a covering of leaves, 
brush, straw’, or anything that will collect 
snow and protect them from the sun and 
March winds, is all that is necessary. The 
blossoms of those marked (P. ) are pis- 
tillate or imperfect, being destitute of sta- 
mens. and will not produce perfect fruit, if 
any, unless some of the perfect-flowering 
sorts are planted near. At least every fifth 
row should be a perfect-flowering variety.
