Several varieties were so lacking in one or more of the characteristics of 

 a good strawberry that they are placed in the following rejected list: 



California. E. P. Eoe. Nigger. 



Dayton. Estelle. No. 1 (Engle). 



Dr. Moraire. Hyslop. No. 31 (Haynes). 



SUMMARY. 



The old varieties Bubach, Crescent, Haverland, Warfield, and Wilson 

 are still most commonly grown as market varieties, but the Crescent and 

 Wilson, from their liability to injury from leaf-blight, have in some sec- 

 tions been superseded, respectively, by Warfield and Bubach. They are 

 all (with the exception of Wilson) pistillate varieties, and must have per- 

 fect-flowering sorts planted with them to supply pollen. Miner, Cumber- 

 land, and Sharpless succeed in most localities and are excellent for the 

 purpose. Wilson and Michel are also used. For home use, or for local 

 markets, the Cumberland, Great Pacific, and Sharpless have much to 

 recommend them. To precede these sorts by a few days. Alpha and Michel 

 can be used, but they will be found considerably less productive than 

 Warfield and Crescent, which follow soon. 



Lovett, Mrs, Cleveland, and Townsend No. 19 are also worthy of a place 

 among early market kinds. 



It is too soon to pass upon the varieties marked with an asterisk (*) in 

 Table 1, but of the older and yet comparatively new sorts, the most prom- 

 ising for market are Belle, Crawford, Enhance, Florence, Muskingum, 

 Ohio Centennial, Parker Earle, and Stayman No. 1. As will be seen from 

 the table, Parker Earle leads the others in the list by several points, but 

 it will not succeed without the best of care. For local markets the Beder 

 Wood, Edgar Queen, General Putnam, and Hoard seem worthy of trial. 



VARIETIES OF DOUBTFUL VALUE. 



Of the older sorts, the following seem to have little to commend them^ 

 and as our lists are much too long, and as many of them, although sent out 

 several years ago, are not generally catalogued, they will receive no further 

 consideration: Acme, Arlington, Auburn, Bubach No. 34, Cling-to, Clin- 

 ton, Cloud, D, and D., Daisy, Dubois, Howard, Lady Rusk, Little No. 5, 

 Logan, London No. 34, Martha, Ohio, Prince (of Berries), Shaw, Tippe- 

 canoe, Townsend No. 3, Waldron, Welch, Woodruff* No. 1, Yale and 

 Zanesfield. 



STRAWBERRY LEAF-BLIGHT OR RUST. 



Although some of the varieties are so nearly exempt from this disease 

 that the crop is not noticeably lessened by it, others are so badly injured
