PLANTING STRAWBERRIES.

Strawberries can be set out now at any
time up to the middle of September ear
lier the better.
We see articles a column long Of directions
for eultivating this fruit, tending only to con
fuse, not instruct, the uninitiated. The cul
tivation Of strawberries is about as simple
and easy as any other small fruit Or garden
crop.
The soil should be well and deeply pulver-
ised, made mo derately rich, and if it is de-
sired to have a close bed, set the plants, Of
this year growth, from twelve to eighteen
inches apart each way. Late in November
cover with old stable manure, to remain until
the first Of April, when the coarse portions
can be removed.
Rampant growers like the Triumph and
the Albany. will perhaps do better in hills or
rows, allowing them to be two feet between
the rows, and eighteen inches between the
hills. We raised this year, however, a splen-
did crop of Russell's Prolific, which is a
strong grower, in bed.
One advantage in growing in beds is that
there is a constant supply of new plants, Civ
ing fresh vigor and larger fruit than the old
plants in the hills. Another advantage We
have found is, that bed viii continue to be
productive for about twice the length of time
as the hills.
As to the best varieties to cultivate, there
is a great diversity Of opinion. For market
purposes there is none, perhaps, equal to the
Albany. For private supply we should pre-
fer the Triumph, Hoyey, and Russell. Ho-
vey is pistiIlate variety, and should be plac-
ed in alternate beds with either of the other
varieties named.
Every family, however small the garden,
should have bed Of strawberries. A well
managed plot Of ten by twenty feet ought to
yield from thirty to fifty quarts of berries,
which would be sufficient for any moderate
sized family. We have raised in a plot IA by
10, seventy-eight quarts of Hovey's Seeding,
one of our oldest and yet one of our best and
most productive kinds Germantown TeIe-
