Strawberry. — A Test of Yield. 
Plants of the following list of strawberries were set out in the 
spring of 1885, with three exceptions. Two rows of each variety were 
planted, the rows fifty feet long and four feet apart, and twenty-five 
plants in each row. The yield of the rows grown in hills, for the 
season of 1886 was given in the report for that year. The matted 
rows were from three to five feet in width and thickly filled with plants. 
The runners were cut off and not allowed to form plants, in the row 
grown in hills. 
The yields of the rows grown in hills are computed for 25 plants or 
50 feet of row; the yields from the matted rows are computed for the 
same length of row. The fruit picked from ten feet in length of the 
matted row was used in computing the yield. The average number of 
berries per ounce for each row, also the yields in quarts as computed, 
allowing twenty ounces of fruit per quart, together with other data, 
are given in the table.
