Timely Reminders. 
Send for the new spring catalogues. 
Clear up the plantations generally. 
As soon as the strawberry patches are un- 
covered give them a liberal topdressing of 
unleached wood ashes. 
Ground bone and unleached wood ashes 
or muriate of potash are the best commer- 
cial fertilizers for small fruits. 
If not already done place a large shovel- 
ful of well-rotted manure or compost around 
each hill of raspberries, blackberries, cur- 
rants and gooseberries. 
Prepare land thoroughly for new planta- 
tions of small fruits. Plough deeply and 
follow with subsoil plough when necessary 
to provide a deep and mellow soil. 
Strawberry plants may be put out this 
month in many localities, and when there 
is any danger from freezing and thawing 
after planting a handful of covering may 
be given; but it is better to wait a little for 
settled weather, remembering, however, 
that strawberries to attain the greatest de- 
gree of success must be planted early. 
Now is the time to trim the raspberry and 
blackberry canes. Cut back the leading 
canes fully one-third and shorten the lateral 
to within twelve or eighteen inches from the 
stem. If old bearing canes were not re- 
moved last summer or fall, take them out 
now. 
At the same time also trim the currant 
and gooseberry bushes, cutting away all the 
dead wood and opening the centre of the 
bush to admit light and air freely. Cut 
back the young shoots (last season’s growth) 
moderately.
