FRUIT NOTES. 



No. 92. — Horticultural Department. 



This station, with a sub-station in the Lake Shore fruit belt at South 

 Haven, has excellent facilities for testing new varieties of fruit. The 

 results of the past season's work at South Haven will be found in Bulletin 

 No. 88, published in December, 1892. 



This bulletin contains the notes on some of the small fruits grown in 

 the college gardens the past year. 



STRAWBERRIES. 



The strawberries tested number about one hundred and seventy- five 

 varieties. In the spring of 1892 eighty additional new sorts were set out. 

 A large proportion of these were sent here by the originators for trial 

 before placing upon the market. Many are unnamed seedlings. "When 

 obtainable the number of plants tested is twenty-four. 



The following table includes the more promising of the varieties grown. 

 None of the sorts planted last spring are given:
