The strawberry beds should now be mulched, or covered
with some clean material, for the double purpose of keeping
the fruit free front dirt in wet weather, and of preventing
excessive evaporation in a dry or parching summer. The
old-fashioned practice was to lay clean straight straw be-
tween the rows, and front this the fruit derived its name ;
but the unsightliness of the plan has long sine•• condemned
it. The material most generally astsl, and which answers
the purpose very well, is the short grass cut from the lawns;
but, in preference to it, we would recommend a row of plain,
dark-coloured rooting tiles, to be laid on each side of
the plants, with the slightly-hollowed side downwards.
Those which are generally denominated wasters are good
cnouah for this purpose, and may he procured front
the manufactories at a trifling cast. Before anything is
put on to the ground, it should be loosened with a fork be-
tween the rows ; and, if necessary, watered with liquid
manure, which, with the mulching or tiles, will generally
be all that is required during the season. At the same time
a good dressing of dry coot under the leaves and amongst
the stems of the plants will assist their growth and destroy
slugs. If the small black beetle, which often infests straw-
berry beds, should attack the fruit, they may be easily ills-
covered and caught by raising up the tiles, under which
they creep for shelter. Snails are often blamed for the
mischief done by these pests, which generally keep out of
sight during the day. In many places they dis4ure fully
a fourth of the strawberry crop.

MUNICII, MAY 27.—The government requires of
