Strawberries.

mr.. S6lnner.-In reply to an enquiry OF your
correspondent r. K. NJ in your sixth number OK
vol. S, relative TO the failure of Strawberries which
have apparently blossomed vigorously | would
suggest as the cause, the undue proportion OF male
and female plants. These be discovered by their
blossoms. have been, for some time, in the habis
OF paying attention to this point, with view to pro-
noting the fruitfulness of my plants. neghbor
ofmine, remarkable for his knowledge and skill in
gardening, showed me most beautiful bed in uS
blossom last spring, from which he did not gather
la fill OF strawberries, and which he afterwards dug
up. In the Cd volume Of the Transactions of the
horticultural Society of London, p. SOS, August s,
1917 is letter to the secretary OF the society
from Mr.. Micheal Keens, gardener, OF Esleworths
from which the following are extracts, in answer to
letter requesting detail of his practice in raising
Strawberries:
There are many different sorts OF hautooys
one has the male and female organs in tie same
blossom, and bears very freely. But that which I
most approve is the one which contains the male
organs in one and the female in another. In Sc
Letting these plants, must be taken that there
are not too many male plants amongst them ; foF-
as these bear no fruit they are apt TO make more
runners than the female. | consider one male To-
ten females the proper proportion for an abundant
crop learned the necessity of mixing the male
plants with the others by experience, in 1909. had
before that period selected female plants only for
my BEDS and was entirely disappointed in my ex-
lpectations of crop"
These remarks apply to all other varieties, with
some difference in the extent of their operation
1t may be easily discovered by the stamina, which
are the male blossoms. 1t is matter perfectly una
derstood by best practical gardeners, that an att
ention to the selection of their plants, is well re-
lwaided by an increased quantity oil fruit.
