Strawberries should be planted as early in the Autumn as possible. Ground that has been 
heavily manured for early potatoes or Spring cabbages is usually In good condition for the crop. 
Land that has not been recently manured or thoroughly worked over should be deeply trenched 
and plenty of farmyard manure added during the operation. When the bed is ready for planting 
the soil should be levelled and rolled or trodden, unless it is naturally very strong in texture. 
Planting should be done with a small spade or trowel. The roots of the plants should be carefully 
spread out and the soil above them firmly pressed with the foot, taking care that the crown is just 
above ground, and that there is no depression round the nock of the plants.

This valuable esculent is easily forced If care la only taken to apply heat gradually, as It will 
not succeed if placed in too high a temperature at starting. Place several crowns a few Inches 
apart in large pots, and stand them In a temperature of about forty-five degrees, with an Inverted 
S ot placed over each to exolude light and insure blanching ; a mushroom house, pit, or cellar, will
