STRAWBERRIES. 
We consider the following the best system for cultivating the straw¬ 
berry. 
Set your plants about one foot apart in the rows, and the rows three 
feet apart (it will 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 much 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-lialf 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 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 given above. 
The varieties marked “P” are pistillate and must have a row of staminate, or perfect-flowered varie¬ 
ties, planted say every ten feet among them. Those marked “.S” are staminate or self fertilizing varieties.
