Strawberry Culture in Florida.

successfully grown on light sandy
land, the flat-wood land with a clay
or hard pan subsoil is pre-eminently
the home of this luscious fruit and
for this reason the country about
Lawtey, Fla, is considered as the
strawberry center of the state and
one of the strawberry localities of the
United States. But while this is true
of the locality mentioned, Clay coun-
ty, and the vicinity of Green Cove
Springs, in particular can not only
boast of having excellent lands for
the production of the strawberry, but
with her variety of soil one can Sc
lect such a tract, suitable as well for
the successful cultivation of the pear
peach, plum, grape and others which
are alike staple fruits and money
makers.
The past fall has been very trying
one on the newly set strawberry
plants, in very many cases a good
stand was only obtained by the most
persistent energy. AS consequence
the plants are not at this time as for
ward in growth as is generally the
case. The frequent showers during
November and thus far in December,
with the entire absence of frost Or
very cool weather has done much to
bring the plants forward, however,
and many of the plant beds are be-
ginning to look we'll.
Our own planting, which consists of
11a acres, planted on we'll drained
fat-woods land, portion of which is
underlaid with a yellow sand subsoil,
is located on what formerly was a cui-
tivated field 'out which for the past
Is years has been allowed to grow up
to young pines, blackberry vines, etc
was prepared by blowing the land
twice with a six inch John Deeve steel
pillow. We planted on beds of differ
ent widths, some being on beds three
feet wide, with two rows of plants 10
the bed and fifteen inches apart il
the row, others eight feet wide with
four rows on each bed, and still 9TH
ers eighteen to twenty feet wide with
nine to ten rows on each bed. This
being our first year we have used diff
ferent sized beds, to ascertain which
would be preferable. The wide beds
are almost the same as level culture,
this being practiced by some of the
growers here with good results.
We began planting September II,
but the first setting did not give very
good satisfaction. Our next setting
was September % and "a, consisting
of 1000 plants from which we started
fully 90 per cent, but even these did
not make very rapid progress in
growth. Plants set the first week in
October are at present the thriftiest
and finest plants we have, are now
blooming abundantly and many little
berries the size of peas are already to
be found These should be ripe by
January goth, and after, provided the
weather continues favorable. The
heaviest part of our planting was
done between October goth and No
vember 18th, and these are now com
