STRAWBERRIES.
Suitable Soil and Season For Planting-Ths
Beyries of 1893.

Berries of 1893.
In the selection of soil for growing
Strawberries Greiner gives to deep,
well drained clay loan the preference,
although a good crop can be grown on
any soil adapted Cor the production of a
good crop Of corn. The lay and compo-
sition of the land have great influence
upon the season of ripening Among
the chief factors favoring earliness Of
crop are sandy composition of soil, por-
GUS subsoil, southeastern exposure and
selection of early varieties. The market
gardener who has variety of soils and
situations may make such selections and
combinations which suit his particular
purpose. By proper selection Of condi-
tons the berry season can be greatly
heightened, or the bulk of crop ripened
in just such season as the market may
be expected to be most favorable.
Early fall, or even summer, is the
time usually selected for planting straw
berries in the southern states. At the
north we oftener prefer to plant in
spring, unless we have chance to get
good plants the first runners made after
the fruiting season-not later than
August. If these plants are spot grown
or taken up with clump of soil, they
may be expected to do all the better, ac-
cording to Mr.. Greiner.
E. P. Powell, commenting upon the
varieties Of strawberries for 1898 in
American Gardening, says the Cumber-

Pun out In a single year or two and
makes the very best family berry. Blu
bach does we'll almost everywhere and
so ranks next to the Cumberland as a
great family berry.
The Haverland, a long, finger shaped
berry, is an enormous cropper and does
best ON rather light soils.
The number of new sorts sent out
this spring is not SO large as usual.
Timbrell seems to be emphatically
ahead. Greenville is another novelty.
e. P. Roe was one of last years novelties,
as also were Gillespie and Van Deman.
Swindle is curicusly named, but has
proved an acquisition in some sections.
Beverly and Leader are of the very best.
For home garden the fruitgrower
mentioned recommends to hold fast to
Cumberland and Bubach and test such
as Beverly, Princess, Leader and Lovett.
Mrs. Cleveland is berry not to be part
ed with; so also Crawford, Sadie and
Pearl. Cyclone, a new berry, ia said by
good judges to be very fine. Beder
Wood holds its own almost everywhere.

LAWNS AND WALKS,
How to Keep Them Free From Annual.
Biennial and Perennial Weeds.

HOW 10 aAeoP Aheul Free From Annual,
Biennial and Perennial Weeds.
Intensive cultivation allows no weeds
to appear, but then comparatively few
persons practice it. Annual weeds die
nfter the seasons growth and REQUIRE nc
special treatment. The biennial species
may be held in check by preventing them
from seeding, as by moving them when
coming into flower. The perennial species,
which live indefinitely, often require par
ticular treatment.
Weeds in lawns are to be prevented
by a liberal use of commercial manures
and clean grass seed sown thickly. For
tunately grass can stand more cutting
than weeds, and therefore most peren-
NAL weeds may be kept down by fire.
quent mowings with good lawn mower.
Those that do not succumb to this fire.
quent cutting must be cut off below the
surface with spud and the crowns
pulled out, or a little oil of vitriol may
be poured upon the crown of each plant.
Walks ought to be made 50 that weeds
cannot grow in them. Professor L. H.
Bailey tells in the ssHorticulturist's Rule
book that this can be done by making
a deep stone foundation and then filing
in between the stones with cinders, coal
ashes and other similar materials. But
when weeds become established they
can be destroyed with hot brine applied
with a watering pot. Another remedy
consists in sprinkling the walks with car
bolic acid solution in the proportions of
one ounce of acid to gallon of water.
This will also destroy ants.

The characteristics of good market
pears-solidity, abundant bearing, stand
ing rough usage and similar points are
not always the best characteristics for a
fruit that We would desire to grow for
themselves, according to Meehan's
Monthly. The Bartlett, Sheldon, Belle
Lucrative, Beurre DAMON, Beurre Bose,
Seckel, and, for an early kind, Doyenne
d'Ete, can seldom be had In the market,
but are very desirable for ones own gar

little room, have advantages for small

Care of Roses,

At a meeting of Massachusetts horti-
culturists M. Fl. Walsh gave his plan Of
treatment for hybrid perpetual roses.
He said:
I find Swinging twice a week very
beneficial after the leaves put out. This
is done in the late afternoon or evening.
AS soon as the leaves begin to show
give all the plants a liberal busting of
white hellebore. have to apply it
twice during the season.
l keep sharp lookout for mildew and
apply sulphur on the diseased branches.
In England they use sulphide of potas-
Bium-1 ounce dissolved in 4 gallons Of
water-syringing the plants with the
same. which is quite as effective as sui
phur and not SO unsightly. I shall try
this solution the coming spring should
occasion require For green fly use a
solution Of whale oil soap.
When the buds are just beginning to
show, I water with liquid manure from
the barn cellar and repeat it when the
buds have fully formed also just before
they begin to open AS soon as the buds
are large enough I disbud where / want
fine flowers, leaving only one bud on each
flower shoot. After Towering about the
10th to the 18th of JULY prune all the
vigorous growing varieties, such as Paul
Neyron, Antoine Mouton, Alfred Co.
lomb, Ulrich Drummer, Gloire Lyonnaise,
La Refine, Duke of Connaught, Louis
Van Houtte and Anna de Diesbach, CUT

then make fine growth and produce
nice flowers in September and until frost
comes.
