New Twice-Bearing French Strawberry "Mammoth Perpetual." 
For Description, see "Johnson & Stokes' Garden and Farm Manual." 
As soon as the crop is off the bed should be plowed, 
turning strawberries and litter under, and sweet corn or 
other quick crop at once planted. This will insure the gather- 
ing of two crops in two years; otherwise a strawberry crop 
means a two-years' use of the soil. 
The setting out of a new strawberry bed every spring is 
good practice; and it is altogether advisable for farmers to 
occasionally introduce new varieties of strawberries on their 
farms, to replace old or enfeebled sorts. 
The profits of strawberry culture are quite large, the gross 
receipts not infrequently running to $250 per acre. New 
boxes and crates are advisable, and are distinctly profitable.
