SMALL FRUITS. 
The small fruits, such as Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Gooseberries, Currants, etc., ripen, 
ing from the first of June till Fall, are everywhere capable of successful cultivation, and yield large re¬ 
turns at comparatively small expense. They should have a place in every garden. ’ Since the introduc 
tion of self-sealing jars and cans, they can be had throughout the year almost as fresh as when gathered- 
STRAWBERRIES. 
First of the Small Fruits in the month of June comes the 
oeautiful, wholesome and appetizing Strawberry. The profits 
which may result from its cultivation, when properly con¬ 
ducted, are enough to satisify the highest expectations. 
Plant in March, April, May, September, October, or No¬ 
vember, on good ground, deeply worked and well manured. 
Vegetable manure (muck, rotted turf, wood soil, ashes, etc.) 
is the best. Bone dust is excellent. Set in 3 feet rows, 15 
inches apart in row for field culture, and 15 inches each way 
for garden, leaving a pathway at every third row. Keep in 
hills with runners cut, unless troubled with the white grub. 
Cultivate clean, mulch late in the Fall, uncover crown early 
in Spring, remove mulch after fruiting, and spade in light 
dressing of manure.

One of the very best, abundantly productive, full average size, excellent flavor 
and one of the very earliest. 
A fine variety for either market or private gardens. Fruit of large size and of 
good quality; ripens moderately early. It is a pistillate variety, requiring 
some other perfect flowering sorts to be planted near it. 
A magnificent variety; berries immense; fine perfect form, and of fine flavor. 
Plant very vigorous and productive. 
Medium, conical, bright scarlet, very uniform in size. A beautiful berry, com¬ 
mencing to ripen with Wilson’s Albany, and continuing in fruit longer.' Has 
been shipped 200 miles without changing color. It is astonishing in its pro¬ 
ductiveness, yielding, it is claimed, ten thousand quarts to the acre. The 
plains are wonderlul in growth, taking entire possession of the ground to the 
exclusion of weeds and grass. It appears alike at home on all soils. 
Immense yielder; fruit medium to large, good flavor. Similar to the Wilson, but 
better flavor. It is a strong and luxuriant grower, healthy and productive; 
berries large, handsome and solid, somewhat resembling the IVilson, of which 
it is said to be a seedling, though better in quality and increases more rapidly. 
1 he berry is of good size, the flavor is all that can be desired, and for produc¬ 
tiveness has few equals. 
A new variety of large size, which promises well. 
Large, conical, crimson ; flesh firm ; of fine flavor and good quality ; plant, healthy, 
vigorous and productive.
