Strawberries.

The best time for planting straw
berries, all things considered, is in the
spring; the next best, other thingo be-
ing equal, is late in the summer, dur
ing cool damp spell. Some success
full strawberry growers recommend to
plant in the verey driest time. This,
they claim, is practicable, but our eX-
perience has been otherwise, and near
ly all those who have tried both seasons
are as unit in favor of dampness and
no sunlight for all kinds OF transplant
ing. BY planting in summer the plants
will bear a moderate crop during the
ensuing season. Plants put in in the
spring often bear some fruit the same
season, especially if the soil and season
are favorable, but not as general rule
In planting always select long runners,
but avoid the use of old plants for
TRANSPORTING The runners should be
prepared the previous season by being
layered, or stopped, Us it is termed by
horticulturiss, by breaking off the eX-
tremity of the runner, after the first
joint, and laying a flat stone on it, or
drawing the soil up to the young plant.
Strawberries are now generally
planted in rows, varying from
two to three feet wide, accord
ing to the idea of the cultivator
and the scarcity of the soil. If wide
space between the rows is adopted,
the plantation may be kept longer in
good bearing condition, by keeping the
soil clean and well worked, removing
the superluous runners, and keeping
the plants more in hills. Some extern
sive c,sltiyators do not allow planta-
ton to remain more than three years
without being renewed, but the writer
has an old plantation that has borne an
average crop for twenty seasons, and
to all intents and purposes, is as good
as ever, though the fruit is an old
fashioned kind (some old-fashioned
kinds are the best), and the plantation
has had good care and attention, two
requisites to all kinds of small fruit
culture. All things considered, how
ever, it is the wisest plan TO renew the
plants often, as the soil is thereby re-
newed, and new rotation of crops
carried out. Fabulous accounts daily
meet the eye of the product per acre
of well-tended straw berry plantation
during a good fruit year; these, how
ever, Will not do to bank on, inasmuch
as the product depends altogether on
the care and attention devoted to If.

A great many persons when they
plant a flower garden, desire such
flowers as will give the greatest show
with the least trouble Again, many
can afford but few kinds. Some peo-
pie take catalogues and look them over,
getting completely bewildered before
they get through. Everything there
shown is described as being desirable
and gorgeous, and they cannot deter
mine really what to get and what not
TO get. This is the experience of every
one when they commence growing flow
ers, but they will soon learn V hat kinds
succeed best in common garden, and
are most satisfactory. We will sup
pose the reader has had some little eX-
peri1nce; in such cases about dozen
varieties will be selected First in the
list will be the petunias, those old but
ever new beautiful flowers. These are de-
sirable; they begin to bloom when very
small, and continue TO bloom until frost
kills item, thus giving constant sue
cession of flowers As the plant grows
the blooms Increase in number, and q
comm3n-si2ed plant will cover space
three feet square, often showing two
hundred blossoms at once. They are
of all shades of radiant purple, and
when mixed with white have a dazzling
effect. Next comes the modest beauti-
full by virtue of modesty-- This
begins to bloom early, and, like
petuuias, has large clusters of flowers,
increasing in number rs the plant
grows. From the time they commence
to bloom until killed by the frost they
are never without flowers. Nothing In
the floral family can give q greater va
riety of colOrs, or present a more daz-
cling effect, than fox red, white, blue,
