STRAWBERRIES 
For field-culture plant in rows four feet apart, with the 
plants one foot apart in the row. For garden-culture plant 
three feet by one foot. Should the ground not be prepared 
for planting on receipt of the plants, they should he heeled 
in, in a cool, moist, shady place. Do not sprinkle the foli¬ 
age, as it causes a moisture to collect which is very injurious 
to th'c crowns, causing them to rot. In setting the plants, he 
careful to have the crowns even with or a little above the 
surface of the ground, .and to have the trench or hole in 
which the plant is set deep enough to allow the roots their 
full length. Some varieties of Strawberries have pistillate 
or imperfect flowers. These must have perfect-flowered 
varieties planted every 15 or 20 feet among them, or they 
will produce imperfect fruit. The pistillate varieties arc 
marked (/’)•

Armstrong. This is the largest and most productive 
berry grown. We have seen several crates of them, 
with ioto 12 berries to a quart box. They sold on the 
market for to to 15 cents per quart, while other berries 
sold for four to six cents per quart. It is a perfect- 
blossom variety. Season from medium to late. Dozen, 
35 cents; 100,51.40; 1000, 57.50. 
Echo. We consider this variety superior both in flavor 
and sweetness, and while it is not a good shipping 
berry, for the home garden it should be planted in pref¬ 
erence to all others. Fruit brilliant red, of medium 
size, second early. Plants very productive, and con¬ 
tinue to bear late in the season. 
Gandy. The best late Strawberry in market, and a gen¬ 
eral favorite with fruit growers everywhere. The 
berries arc large and uniform in size, of a rich crimson 
color, and quite firm. Plant a vigorous grower and 
good cropper. Late to very late. 
Glen Mary. (/’). Another variety of vigorous growth, 
large size and good quality; color dark scarlet, flesh 
light red. For home use and near-by market it is a 
very promising variety. 
STRAWBERRY, SEA FORD 
Sample. (P). A fine berry of very large size, long in 
bearing, solid and good. It is quite late to ripen, large 
to very large in size, crimson color clear through to the 
core; colors all over at once; very firm for a large 
berry; strong, vigorous and healthy foliage. There is 
not a weak spot in it. Needs no petting. 
Seaford. ( P ). Fully equal to Bubach in size; far more 
productive, firm enough to meet all requirements; color 
deep, glossy red, and quality fit for a king. The plant 
is as large as Bubach and a much more vigorous 
grower, while it ripens its crop much faster and several 
days earlier, and, therefore, commands a higher price.
