Strawberries. 
With a small patch of strawberries 
in one’s garden a surprisingly large 
quantity of berries can be picked 
during the fruiting season. Fresh 
berries from the garden are very su¬ 
perior to the ordinary fruit stand 
berry, both in appearance and deli¬ 
cacy of flavor. 
Varieties marked (P.) are Retaliate; {$.) 
stammate. Every fifth row or about every fifth 
plant in the row should be a staminate variety 
to get the heaviest yield of fruit.
