]6 J. C. EveritVs Catalogue. 
STRAWBERRIES. 
Kor field culture, plant i by 4 feet apart, 10,000 to the 
acre, For garden cu ture, plant i by 2 feet apart. Any 
rich soi’ that wil I produce good corn or potatoes is suita¬ 
ble for the strawberry, Early in the winter cover the en¬ 
tire surface with litter of some kind to keep the p'ants 
from being injured by freezing, I here is no danger of put¬ 
ting on too much between the rows, but the plants them¬ 
selves must iiQt be covered too deep; from 2 to 3 inches of 
coarse straw is probably the best covering, When growth 
commences, remove the covering from directly ovei the 
plants, and leave it between them for a mu ch, 
The blossomes of those marked with x letter (P) are 
destitute of stamens, and are termed Pistillate: and un- 
Jess a row of a perfect flowered variety is planted at inter¬ 
vals not exceeding a rod, they will produce imperfect 
truit, and but little of it; but when properly ferti ized, as 
a ru'e, they are more prolific than those with pertect 
flowers,

the Sharpless, and more productive than the Wi lson or 
Cresscent, very firm meaty in texture, and dilicious in 
flavor, Per doz,, 50c ; per ioo, £2,

of medium size, conical; color deep red: flesh moder¬ 
ately firm, good qualify, very desirab le for early home

i The Manchester (P).—A new variety of much promise. It 
i is safe to assert that no strawberry introduced within 
1 several years has received so many favorab e comments 
j from prominent fruit growers and dealers, and that n» 
: kind combines so many desirable qualities, For family 
i use, as well as for market, it stands preeminent. It is 
• a strong grower, does not rust, and is wonderfully pro- 
i ductive, bearing uniformly large fruit, of a bright, glossy 
j scarlet; in qua ity richer than any other productive 
i variety, While for shipping it is unsurpassed, Per doz,
