Fer4ilizIng the Strawberry.

From 4 careful study OF the anatomy
OF the strawberry plant the Wisconsin
station is OF the opinion that a liberal
top dressing with fine manure or very
fertile soil after the fruiting season is
the most rational method OF fertilizing
the strawberry plantation. This dress
ing protects the crowns OF the plants
from excessive summer heat and fur.
nishes the young roots with abundant
nourishment throughout the growing
season, developing strong plants which
are able to store up in the short stems
n good supply of reserve material for
the first leaf growth the following
