ful fruit ; very firm, rendering it one of the best for 
shipping. 10 cents each ; 12 for $1.00.

STRAWBERRIES. 
For field culture, plant 1 by 4 feet apart, 10,000 to the 
acre ; for garden culture, plant 1 by 2 feet apart. Any 
rich soil that will produce good corn or potatoes is suit¬ 
able for the strawberry. The plants may be set in the 
spring or fall, but if set in the fall, they should be 
planted during September, so as to have them well 
rooted before winter. When planted late in the fall 
they require to be well mulched to prevent their wm— 
tcr ~killing. but the leaves and crown must not be closely 
covered, as strawberry plants are easily smothered. 
Those marked (p) arc pistillate ; others arc perfect m 
their flowers.

size to the end ot the season. It is said to Ik* more prof¬ 
itable than the old standard kinds, and more productive

blance to the former has caused some to suppose it the 
same. 10 cents each ; 12 for $1.00.

vation ; rich, dark color and fine quality. The size is 
really immense, irrcgtilar in form. The original' r claims

ence. It requires rich soil and high culture. 10 cents
