FOR RENEWING A
STRAWBERRY PATCH
Too Late Now to Reset Plants,
SO Thing to Do Is to Prepare
for Spring Work.
(By ANNA

A great many people believe that
in order to have plenty of strawber-
ries It is necessary to set a new patch
every year or two. This is q mistaken
idea. If good plants are used to start
with, the patch can be kept In bearing
condition for a number OF years.
We can always tell an old plant by
the appearance of the roots. The old
er a strawberry is the more dead roots
1t will have. When planting, be care
full to select those with good roots.
The roots should always be pruned,
but not too closely. unless they are
being set late in the fall, In which
case very little pruning is necessary.
because the plants should be very
carefully taken up and transferred
with as much soil as possible clinging
to the roots.
1t is too late now to reset strawber-
ny plants, SO the thing to do is to get
ready for the spring work. If the
| old patch is to be renewed, pillow or
dig out the old rows. leaving at least
a space OILS inches between those
left.
If one does not care to save any of
the plants removed, 1t Is not neces-
sary to uproot them. They can easily
be destroyed with the hoe. When the
crowns are destroyed the roots will
die.
The remaining plants should stand
several inches apart in the row This
will give the berries a chance to
ripen. The straw which was used
to cover the plants should be placed
In the spaces between the rows to
walk upon while gathering the crop.
We renovated" the old strawberry
patch / n the above manner last spring
and as a result harvested the bes'
crop of berries ever seen in this par
Of the country.
The berries we're large and fine, II
spite of the fact that the drought wa:
very severe just before they began Il
ripen. and this should convince any
one that a new patch is not a neces
sity. provided one takes care Of tn,
old one.
But after all this Is merely n wa.
of starting a new patch. For. whel
the old rows are removed, 1t Is tn
