this vicinity that a hardy plant like
the strawberry would benefit little if
at all from covering with straw or
other litter. But this is not true FOR
the alternate freezing and thawing of
the soil, so characteristic of this lati
tude. is much more dangerous than
the steady cold further North. Straw
berry plants are comparatively shall
low rooted and easily heaved or lifted
from the soil during thaws. A shall
low cover OF straw viii tend to keep
the soil frozen and thus prevent the
dangerous heaving of the plants. This
Winter. despite its general mildness,
has been particularly hard on straw
berry beds.
Mulching berries with straw has
another important advantage. that OF
protecting the developing fruits from
contact with muddy soil and splash
ing of heavy rains. The very name
strawberry is significant of the an
cient and generally esteemed praC-
tice of scattering straw among the
plants of this favored fruit. Straw
is generally placed on the beds in late
Autumn or early Winter to a depth
of about two inches. In Spring. about
the middle of March. depending on
the kind of weather, the straw is
raked from above the plants and
pulled into the space between the
rows and allowed to settle.
