THE CHRONICLE.
CULTIVATION OF TIE STRAWBERRY

None of the berries are so beauti-
full, and perhaps none are so popular
as the Strawberry, and we will add,
none are raised more surely or more
easily, if only the right steps are
taken.
The first and most important part
of the cultivation, to secure large
fruit, and large crop, is deep tilluge.
In garden plots the ground should
be trenched at least three spades
deep, and care taken to keep the top
soil uppsrmost. After the trenching,
the bed should be MANFRED with well
rotted horse manure. This should
be done fully two months before the
time of planting, and the ground
packed over two or three times at in
tcrvals of about two weeks, in order
to get the manure we'll mixed through
thy soil before the plants are set
At the time Of the first forking scat
ter over the ground mixture COM
posed Of bone dust 40. These pro-
portions suit our heavy soil; which
is also much improved by good coat
of sand. The last forking should be
done Immediately before planting
This mellows the ground, and enables
the operator to make holes for the
plants with his hands, which is bet
ter and more expeditions than using
a trowel. A dibble should never be
used The plants should be set in
two rows, at distance of fifteen
inches each way, then leave walk
Of two feet, and again plant in rows
as before. The space Of two feet
allows the fruit to be picked, and
saves it from being trodden under
foot. In taking up the runners am
particularly careful to protect them
from the rays of the sun, as few
moments exposure is hurtful, if moi
death to the tender plants.
Success depends much upon the
manner of planting, which should be
done as follows: the operator should
make the holes with his hand, spread
the root of the plant and hold il
against the straight side of the hole
and fill it loosely with earth; then
let another person follow with water
ing pot (having the nose removed,
and pour in sufficient quantity o.
water to settle down the plant in it,
place. This will again expose thu
roots of the plant, which are to b,
coverted to the proper depth will
the dry earth, which will prevent i
from baking when exposed to the sun
All new runners should be removed
and the ground frequently forked t,
keep down the weeds. This is very
important as no work should be done
in the spring after fruiting, othe
than to pull few scattering weeds
which are sure to come.
After the ground is frozen hard, I
light covering of salt, hay or straw
should be put on, and not removed
until after the fruit is gathered. II
the spring it is only necessary t.
open tho covering above the plants
to allow them to come through.
