" Having set strawberry plants both in spring and autumn, and at almost all other seasons during warm weather, I am convinced that those set in the spring, as soon as the ground is settled, do the best, are in the best condition to stand the winter, and produce the most berries the next year. We also find it necessary to protect the plants during winter, to prevent the frost from heaving them out. A light covering of wheat straw or other material, free from weed seeds, is put on early in winter and left until warm weather, when a portion is raked off and left between the rows".

Of 93 varieties of potatoes, the following varieties "seem to be specially worthy of recommendation and further trial: Beauty of Sheba, Breeze, Dictator, Dakota Red, Early Sunrise, Early King, Gold flake, Great Eastern, Garfield, New Queen, Rose's New Giant, Rural New-Yorker No. 2, Summit".

"For family use, where a succession is desirable, the following list of peas will give good satisfaction : First and Best, or Early Morning Star, Dan O'Rourke, Minimum, Advancer, Stratagem and Dwarf Sugar (edible pods).
