I F pot-grown strawberry plants are set out in well-prepared ground 
during the months of September or earlv October, they will pro¬ 
duce a good crop of berries the following season. The many ad¬ 
vantages gained by the use of pot-plants, even at the advance in price 
over the ordinary layer-plants, make their use advisable even where 
large plantations are to be made, and for the garden offer every advan¬ 
tage, as they can follow garden vegetable crops.

Strawberry arc staminate. Every fourth row at least or every fourth plant in a
