Planting distances vary, but the home gardener may safely space his plants twelve to eighteen inches apart in rows two to three feet apart. When the time has come for setting out the plants and ne rain has fallen for some time the ground should be thoroughly watered before and after planting, and also at regular intervals for a few weeks to insure growth. THE RIGHT WAY TO PLANT. The after success of the strawberry depends greatly upon the way in which it was placed in the soil. The roots should be just covered and made quite firm; the crown---that is, the point from where the young leaves arise-- must be quite free and exposed. Make the hole sufficiently large to receive the roots comfortably when spread out as they should be; cover with soil and tread firmly all round, but slightly away from the plant Jtself. When setting out pot plants, Joosen the soil -around the roots be- Jore placing them in the prepared le. ¢ A mulch of old well-decayed ma- nure, short straw or lawn clippings is spread around the plants. During hot and dry weather the mulch will keep the soil moist and cool and the forma- tion 'of new roots will be greatly assisted. After the ground freezes the entire bed must be mulched, the plants also being lightly ®overed with straw or other litter. Unless it is desired to increase the stock 'of plants, all superfluous side "shoots 'or runners should be cut off as they appear. The strawberry is increased by run- ners, many of which are produced by all vigorous growing plants. On ex- "amining these plants it will be noticed that eral long, thin stalks proceed from them at'various points, and that at the end of each there is a small plant. INCREASING STOCK BY LAYERING. This is a runner, and propagation is effected by layering. If the soil is ab all moist these little plants emit 'rootsiand form runner plants, becom- ing independent of the parent plant, and by severing the shoots which still adhere to the old plant they are lifted ~and used in making new beds. * However, if young stock is wanted for Summer. planting,and you purpose walsing "suck "stock from your old y 4 soll containing.some sand: pots are buried in the soil up heir rim and just under the select- runners. oe dotie by pe = Dat indi v ra 1 ;sult from the clot becoming reason for plunging | Fl A test at an Experiment Station showed that although there was an average of 2,000 more apples to the tree. on the unthinhed than on the thinned trees, yet owing to the smaller size.of the former, the crop-of market- able. fruit: was actully less than half what it was on the thinned trees. In the second place thinning main- tains the vigor of the tree. This is particularly. imgortant with trees which have not yet reached their full size, but is worth considering with any trees. In the third place the fruit is im-! vided the crop is at all heavy. The, color is of deeper shade and more of the: surface of the 'fruit is covered. We all know that good color is mighty important in 'selling, frit, ; 1 In the fourth place thinning pays in casly we get 'more money for our crop. Not only that, but the grading! and packing of the crop can be done' more rapidly because there are much' fewer poor apples to be taken out and handled. Now the foregoing is a fairly im. pressive list of benefits: to: come: from a single operation and; as we have said, it is curious that more growers do not practice thinning, Of course the explanation is that we let our fruit go unthinned, just as some folks let their teeth go unclean- ed, simply because it is one of the things that can be neglected and.sill we can "get by" If failure to ¢lean the teeth brought on a severe stowadh ache at once, no one would negleet-his. teeth; and if failure to thin our ap-: ples caused au. loss of the entire crop. most. of us'would thin. ; If your have not been in 'the habit of thinning your apples and want to see what the practice will: do for you, why not try it out?
