STRAWBERRIES.
For field culture plant 1 by 4 feet apart, 10,000 to the acre. For garden culture plant 1 by 2 feet apart. Any rich soil that will produce good corn or potatoes is suitable for the Strawberry. Early in the winter cover the entire surface with litter of some kind to keep the plants from being injured by freezing. There is no danger of putting on too much between the rows, but the plants themselves must not be covered too deep; from two to three inches of coarse straw is probably the best covering. When growth commences remove the covering from directly over the plants and leave it between them for a mulch.
The blossoms of those marked with a letter (p) are destitute of stamens and are termed Pistillate; and unless a row of a perfect flowered variety is planted at intervals not exceeding about a rod, they will produce imperfect fruit, and but little of it; but when properly fertilized, as a rule, they are more prolific than those with perfect flowers.
Price, 10 cts. each; 30c per 10; $2.00 per 100.

Cuthbert, or Queen of the Market -A remarkably strong, hardy variety, said to stand the northern winters and southern summers better than any other variety.
