As ithe small fruits are to remain fy the garden for a longer period of time than the vegetable crops ft is better, as a matter of "convenience, to place them-on one side of the gar- den where they will be least inter- fered with and where they will not hinder the ploughing "for the other crops. The best time to set out nearly all kinds of fruit, in this province, is early in May, the date depending up- on the soil and weather conditiorts. Currants and gooseberries are excep- tions to this rule, it being generally best to plant them in September, as they begin growth very early in spring. Currants, Red and black currants are native and grow over a wide range of terri- tory in Canada. They are planted four-to six feet apart, as the bushes take up considerable space after three or four years. Plant in the autumn. The currant roots are near the surface, hence if the soil is hot and dry the crop will suffer. A rich, well-drained, clay loameis best, al- though they do well in most soils. A good dressing of manure before planting, well worked into the soil, will make conditions better, There is little danger of giving the currant too much fertilizer. Keep from six to eight main branches each season and a few others coming on to take {heir Places. A good rule is not to have any branches more than three -years of age, as younger wood gives strong- er growth and better fruit. In good soil the bushes should bear from six [n full Pandéan chorus.

These suckers may be dug urd set out in new rows.

After a cane bears fruit it is of no more use, and so may be cut out immediately. Of the other canes, fake ont the weak ones and leave about six good canes to bear the fruit or the next season. Cut them back Jate In the fall after growth ceases, or eaily in the spring, to two or two and a half feet in height. .The best varieiies are Cuthbert and Herbert. Strawberries, » The strawberry is a very hardy plant and will grow on a variety of soils. A sandy loam produces the @ar- licst crop, while a clay loam produces the Jargest crop and a better quality beriy Probably the best system of planing in the garden is to set the plants 18 inehes apart In the rows, which should be froin 3-4 feet apart, and allow the runners to extend in all directions to form a matted row. This method will give the greatést quantity of berries; while,. if they were planted closer and all the run- ners cut off, a larger plant and larger berries could be produced, but would take considerable time and care. Spring planting in May gives the best results. Strawberries will not thrive where water stands on the surface In either summer or winter. It may be possible to obtain plants from a plantation near-by; if not, order early from a reliable nurseryman, When digging take the healthiest runner plunts and see that all large leaves and flower buds are removed before planting. More than one wvaricty should be planted, because many vVar- feties are imperfect, that is, contain pistil parts only, while some, when the pistil and stamens are in one flower, are perfect. The imperfect varieties must have pollen from the perfect flower in order to set fruit. Generally the best resulis are obtain- ed where just one crop is taken; that is, at the end of the second season from planting, plough them under, and reset a new lot each year. Most plantations are allowed to run Jonger --three or four seasons. ,In the fall, - after the plants have frozen, they should be covered with straw, hay, or, what is still better, spruce or fir boughs. This prevents alternate freez- ing and thawing. In the spring, after the danger from frost is past, the hay or straw is drawn off the plants and placed between the rows to serve as ; mulch to conserve moisture, keep he berries clean and make picking pM In small gardens plants may be set twelve inches apart in the row. No runners are allowed to form on the plans. This is what is called the "Hill" system and gives very fine quality berries. Only oe with perfect flowers should be us The only objection .to this iethba of strawberry growing is the amount of labor required to pull off the ners. --A. H.
