STRAWBERRIES. 
We consider the following the best system for cultivating the strawberry: 
Set your plants abo.it one foot apart in the rows, and the rows three feeet apart (it will take about fifteeen 
thousand plants per acre at this distance), and allow them to make runners to fill up a space of about twelve tc 
fourteen inches wide; that would give you a space about twenty two inches wide for a path. 
It is claimed that one can get two thousand quarts more fruit off the same ground 
grown in these narrow rows than by allowing them to run all over the ground, and 
the fruit is of better quality. 
They should have from fifteen to twenty cords stable manure per acre, or one 
ton of ground bone, one-half ton muriate of potash, and four hundred pounds nitrate 
of soda to be worked into the soil. 
In field culture they should be worked once a week with cultivator, and gone over 
by hand once in two weeks; care should be taken, after runners start to work cultiva¬ 
tor always the same way, to prevent breaking runners. 
They should be mulched in fall after ground is frozen to protect from thawing and 
freezing during winter, and pait of the mulch should remain during fruiting season. 
Any good corn land will raise strawberries if properly fertilized. 
For garden culture , set plants one foot apart in the row, and the rows two feet apart, 
keep the runuers cut off, and otherwise carry out the instructions as given above. 
The varieties marked are pistillate, and must have a row of staminate, or 
perfect-flowered varieties, planted say every ten feet among them. Those not marked 
“ P ” are staminate or self fertilizing varieties.
