MANCHESTER. SHARPLESS. JAMES VICK. 
STRAWBERRIES. 
For field culture, plant in rows four feet apart, with 
the plants one foot apart in the row. For garden culture, 
plant three by one foot. Should the ground not be 
prepared for planting, on receipt of plants, they 
should be carefully heeled in, in a cool, moist, shady 
place. Do not sprinkle the foliage, as it causes a 
moisture to collect, which is very injurious to the 
crowns, causing them to rot. In setting the plants, 
be careful to have the crown even with, or a little above, 
the surface of the ground, and to have the trench, or 
hole, in which the plant is to be 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 fifteen 
or twenty feet among them or they will produce imper¬ 
fect fruit. The pistillate varieties arc marked with the 
letter P. 
At dozen, prices we prepay postage; at ioo rates add 
50 cents per ioo for mailing, if wished by mail. 
James Vick. 'I'his is one of the most promising 
new Strawberries now before the public. It has 
qualities that make it valuable either for market 
or the home garden. It is a heavy yielder ; the 
color is the most desirable that a Strawberry 
can have for marketing, and the fruit may be 
allowed to remain on the vines a week after it 
is ripe without the slightest injury. In the 
home garden this is advantageous, as there are 
many times when it is not convenient to pick 
berries as soon as ripe. The fruit is of medi¬ 
um size, bright scarlet turning to crimson, and 
borne on long, stout stems, that keep the larger 
portion of the fruit clear from the ground. In 
fact, we think this variety will give general sat¬ 
isfaction as to yield and quality ; dozen, 30 
cents; hundred, $1.25 ; thousand,. 6 00
