It is a great mistake to devote tliö sanie pieoo of gFoütid to strawheine severa! years in succession. As oiten ;i8 a nuw bed is made - as often as jou re-set ynur plants - give them i fresh piece of groimrl to grnw in. Strawbenies seem to exhaust Üie ground of soine element they uoed sooner than almost any oiher plant, and it is difficult to find a Fer'tilfzer that will supp'ly the j vvasta. It i not ncoessiiry to malï a piece of ground on purpose for strawbornes by tho addition of mauuro, Icaf-mold, ashes, road scrapings, &c. ; just set them in any part of jour gar don vvheie the grouud is moderntely rich and uhere striuvberries have not boen grovvn bcfore or at least not in sorae years, and they will be salisfied, and will do better than, if pampered with a variety of artificial food. But b sure and move them often.
