STRAWBERRIES. 
We consider the following the best system for cultivating the strawberry : 
Set your plants about one foot apart in the rows, and the rows three feet apart (it would take about fifteen 
thousand plants per acre at this distance), and allow them to make runners to fill up a space of about twelve to 
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 thoroughly 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 cultivator 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 part 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 runners cut 
off and otherwise carry out the instructions as given above. 
The varieties marked “P” are pistillate, and must have a row of staminate, of perfect-flowered varieties, 
planted say every ten feet among them. Those not marked “ P.” are staminate of self-fertilizing varieties.
