GROWING STRAWBERRIES.

An Ohio Man Tells of His Preference
For Commercial Purposes.
When blossoms appear the first year
the fruit stems should be cut of or
pinched out. The first runners should
be allowed to grow-may not have any
second. AS a rule, each parent plant
should be permitted to set eight plants,
which will make your rows about
eighteen inches in width. If on steep
hillside or where you cannot get wheat
straw for mulching, SOW oats between
the rows about Aug 10 to Is. If the
ground is dry after killing frosts,
mulch; If not, wait until the first hard
freeze Put more straw between the
rows than in them-just enough to hide
to remove it the following spring.
Each individual has a different meth
cd of handling the berries. A few
things must not be done-picking when
the berries are wet from dew or rain;
long exposure to the direct rays of the
sun; pruning and short packages. Ber-
ries for home use or shipment must
be handled carefully, conscientiously.
Healthy plantations and those compar-
atively free from weeds can very often
be worked over by first moving and
then burning the cured tops and mulch
and throwing the dirt away from the
rows of old plants until the row or
ridge left is about a feot in width.
Then follow cultivation as with new
k~x~s
the bordeaux mixture, first when the
fruit buds appear, second when growth
has ceased in the fall. Our plantations
are healthy. and our yields have been
very high.-Fruit Grower.

MARVELLOUS PINK.

Hardy Pinks Extremely Ornamental

The genus dianthus contains many
of our most ornamental and easily

successfully grown under glass, but
there is host of hardy varieties Of
the greatest diversity and beauty.
Great advances have been made in
hybridizing various species and garden
strains, so we now have perpetual flow

and Margaret carnations, all coming
into bloom In four to seven months

lightfully fragrant. There is continual
Improvement in the Chinese pink.
The culture is of the simplest. Seed
may be sown in fine seed bed in the
