STRAWBERRIES. 
Strawberries can be successfully grown on any good garden soil. 
The ground should be thoroughly prepared and enriched and be kept 
mellow and free from weeds. The best time to set the plants is in April 
or May. To obtain the best results the runners should be kept pinched 
oft' as fast as they appear. If this mode of culture is adopted they 
should be planted in squares about eighteen inches apart. Otherwise 
for general cultivation they can be planted about one foot apart in 
rows three feet apart. They should be lightly covered with any coarse 
litter late in the fall. This should be removed early in the spring as 
soon as the plants begin to grow. Those marked (P) have pistillate or 
imperfect flowers and must be planted near the staminate or perfect 
flowering sorts as they will produce no perfect fruit unless fertilized by 
staminate flowers. Price 75 cents for 50 ; $1.00 per 100.
