Sir, - Regarding your note appended to my paper in last month's 'Gardener' upon the subject of Strawberry cultivation, I beg to say that what I wrote is exactly what I was led to believe, by a conversation I had some time ago with the grower, to be correct. I may say, however, that I did not inform him of my intention of publishing the information, and that therefore he might not be particular to a nicety regarding the figures. I have, however, seen the grower regarding the matter, and I find that the figures I gave were all correct regarding the money drawn and the quantity of ground occupied, but that I had either misunderstood him or he had made a mistake in telling me, as the quantity pulled was considerably less than a ton. However, the other figures tend to prove that the crop produced at the rate of £300 per Scotch acre, as stated in my article.

James M'Millan.
