The Rural New Yorker gives the fol-
lowing method for planting strawber-
ries or asparagus: Having prepared tho
soil to SUIT you, draw j iine where YOU
want the row. Take 4 spade and place
it width lengthwise Of the line,, sink it
deeply into the soil, aha then push it
from you and pull it towards you. Now
take the roots of the plant in both hands
and place them. fan-shape in the hole
prepared for them, at the proper depth
for each kind. Press the earth firmly
against the roots on each side and the
work of transplanting is done. The
advantages of this method are that
with a single motion of the hands, the
roots are spread out fan-shaped and at
good depth, and the crown can easily
be drawn up to the point required. A
great advantage is that in the first hoe
ings or cultivating 1t is safe to work
close up to the. plants, as the roots run
ming with the rows will not be disturb
