GROWING STRAWBERRIES.

The amateur gardener who wishes
to set out a bed of rawberries in the
spring must first prepare his soil well
As soon as the ground is ready to work
plow and harrow until il is in good
shape to receive the plants.
Unless the soil is very fertile 1t is
best to take year to prepare il for
the berries. The best way to do this
is to apply a thorough coating of well
rotted manure about 80 loads tn the
acre or an equivalent amount of arti-
fetal fertilizer, and plant potatoes.
beans or some other crop that requires
good deal Of cultivation, Manure
again and plant your berries as soon
as the vegetable crop is off the ground.
Select varieties which you learn by
inquiry do we'll in your vicinity. Set
the plants deep enough TO cover the
roots well but not the crown. They
should be s to "a inches apart in the
rows and the rows should be four feet
apart.
