STRAWBERRIES. 
The best time to set out Strawberries is in the Spring, when they will 
grow all Summer and form a good bed of plants that will bear profusely 
the following year. 
The plants should be set out in good rich ground in rows 2% to 3 feet 
apart and the plants a foot apart in the rows. When setting the plants 
care should be taken to spread out the roots and press some moist soil 
firmly around them. It is best to set out the plants as soon as the ground 
can be gotten into good condition in the Spring, but they will do very well 
i f set out as late as the middle of May. 
Varieties marked ( P) have pistillate or imperfect flowers and should 
have some other perfect-flowering variety growing near to fertilize the 
flowers. Use one perfect-flowering plant to every t hree or four imperfect- 
flowering plants.
