Archive image from page 78 of Descriptive catalogue of fruit and. Descriptive catalogue of fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines and plants, cultivated and for sale . descriptivecatal1893fran Year: 1893 planting. The Strawberry at present occupies a very prominent place in the catalogue of fruits. and nowhere is there greater reason for a people to be interested in its culture than in the Middle States. It is at home in our soil, and ripens its fruit so early as to give us an opportunity of getting the principal part of our crop into New York and other markets be- fore the more northern grower has a basket of berries to send in. Thus we have the very cream of the market; and that we can send berries to this or even Boston market by rail or water, and that they can reach their destination in good condition, has been shown to our entire satisfaction. We grew in Richmond one year (iS6S) one acre, from which we gathered 3.200 quarts of fruit, two-thirds cf which we sent to New York: the balance we sold in this market. The gross sales of this acre amounted to S921.72 ; the cost of shipping and selling the same was S171.55. W'e do not mention this as an extraordinary yield, nor an un- usual price, but just to show what has actually been done under ordinary circumstances. We believe that 150 bushels may be obtained from an acre, and that 100 bushels mav be safely put down as an average for every acre where the land is in good condition and the culti- vation is thorough. The demand for berries is almost without limit. 'e cannot expect the prices to rule so high as they did some years ago, but with judicious management it will pay. set the plants in rows eighteen inches apart and twelve inches apart in the TTHjrr rows, leaving a narrow walk between i every three rows, from which the fruit r mwi can be gathered without treading In garden culture
