SUMMER PLANTING OF
STRAWBERRIS.

Inc scarcity OF plants and the ex.
ceeding demand for them last Spring,
owing to winter-killing, destruction
by the grub, and various other oaus
es that seem to have conspired to
injure the beds, ought to admonish
those who did not succeed in renew
ing their plantations last Spring, to
TRY Summer planting after the runners
are we'll rooted, which should be by
the first to- the middle of august
We have never advised this course for
general planting, and do not propose
to do so now, but for home use where
needed, it sould bo done by all means,
where enough were not planted last
Spring for the next years crop. id sln
By this means, a fair cropof excel
emit berries may be secured next
season, and the bed will be in perfec
ton for the succeeding year. As soon
as the runners are we'll rooted, having
prepared the 'and in the best possible
manner, take up the rooted plants
with as much earth as possible; and
plant them as in the ordinary way, at
a distance Of twelveto sixteeninches
apart, the distance between the rows
being two and half or three feet,
leaving depression about the plants.
Let an assistant follow and give each
from pinto a quart of water. When
this is settled away, draw the earth
over TO cover the plants we'll up to
the crown. m The principal point in
planting is to press che earth firmly
about the roots. y. ''' ....'. : g .o.-
| All this having been properly done,
and 1T is not slow process by any
means if jugdment be useedin organ
ising the labor, there will be but little
moisture lost by evaporation before
absorption can take place by the root,
since the dry earth prevents under
heating by the sur, and must itself
become saturated before the moisture
can be passed into the air. Then if
you cover each plant with leaf of
burdock or rhubard, or any other
large leaf orifyou cover the rows
lightly with mulch to break the
direct rays Of the sun, the plants
will hardly cease growing, and crop
of superior fruit will be the result
next year. a~o 2.aoe
Protection during the Winter is
essential to all beds of strawberries,
and that much thicker than is usual;
say three or four inches. With sum-
mer and autumn-pIanted beds, it is
not only essential, but imperatively
necessary, since, on all but the frmest
soils, they would be inevitably thrown
out and thus the value of the planta-
ton destroyed. 5fa9 aal &allDe2a IA
A bed thus set and protected will,
under the circumstances of u scarcity
of plants, fully repay its cost in fruit,
since the plants in addition to the
| fruit they bear, will be thoroughly
established for the, succeeding
Summers growth. There will be no
necessity Of clipping the runners, if
any are made the present seas on, by
keeping them properly clipped, if the
soil be rich, they will make immense
trusses for the succeeding year.
IF you are SO unfortunate as to
have no strawberry bed, get plants
from neighbor, and thus learn to,
know not only the full value of this
superb fruit, butal the comparative
ease with which the family may
be supplied with it, Western Bur-
