shores of the lake grow quantities of
reeds, sedgea, and water lilies. When
these grow very thickly together people
cui them from the roots which hold them
near the shore. The leaves of the plants
are then spread out over the stems, making

Strawberries la "a Barrel.

A fruit grower gives the following
novel plan for q strawberry patch
which has been tried With success In
the South;
Take 8 coal oil barrel and put Eve or
six holes in each stave, commencing
about six inches from the bottom and
the upper D about three inches
from the top. thea the rest Of the
holes equal distance apart, and so
on until the barrel is full of holes.
Then Gil 10 close Of very rich dirt to
the first tier Of holes. Then insert a
good healthy plaut into each hole,
just letting the bud or crown of the
plant stick outside of the barrel; put
the dirt :.6rmly in the roots, inside Of
the barrel; then fill up with dir;
again TO the next tier of rows and
then plant as before, and so on until
the whole barrel is planted, leaving
the top a little concave, so as TO bold
the water that is to be poured into it
as required. Make a few holes in the
bottom of the barrel to take of any
surplus water that might accumulate,
that it may drain of.
This ia beautiful way Of hay NJ a
neat strawberry patch nearthe house,
or on the porch. making both an or
Damen, and producing luscious fruit.
One hundred plants at a half pint
each to the plant would make twen-
ty-fve quarts Of luscious berries.
Further. they are not in danger of
drouth, as you can keep them water
ed, and keep them in bearing for six
or eight weeks.
