PLANTING SrKAwBEaRIEs.-S
garleuers can transplant strawberries at
any season Of the year, when the grouud
is not frozen, but if dJne during the sum
mer months, in this climate, much care
aud labor is requisite in watering anu
shading or mulching the plants; so ths,
few persons of any experience in the busi-
ness will chose to unier axe it at this sea
SON. IN the month of September, or as
soon as the heat and drought Of summer
are over, and the ground is well moisteneJ
with rain, is the best time for the plant
ing and this will allow the plants to be-
come well rooted, SO that by covering
them slightly for the winter, they will
bear moderate crop of fruit next spring
If the planting be not done in September OF
October, it had better be deferred tili
spring. Spring planting is the easiest and
safest Of all, but Of course it involves q
years delay before any fruit Of conse.
quence can be realized.
