The purpose was to institute a comparison of results from the first and 

 second years' crops from the same plantation, both as grown' in hills and 

 in matted rows. In pursuance of such purpose the planting of a new plat 

 was omitted, and the existing plantation prepared for another season's 

 crop, and mulched on the approach of winter. 



There had been obviously more or less enfeeblement of the plants, 

 doubtless the result of the protracted drouth, accompanied, as it was, by 

 unusually warm weather during the first two months of autumn. Conse- 

 quent upon this, together with the wet and cold during the season of 

 blooming in the following spring, the present year's crop has proved so 

 nearly a failure that the attempt to institute the proposed comparison has 

 been abandoned, and instead thereof the comparative hardiness of the 

 several varieties is indicated by noting the number of plants of each of the 

 dozens grown in hills, which have retained sufficient vitality to produce 

 fruit this year. 



This strawberry plat had been planted between the trees in a young 

 apple orchard, which has obviously been very unfavorably affected by 

 such combined occupancy, notwithstanding the thorough cultivation and 

 manuring which it has received. 



The following varieties are, or promise to be, among the most desirable 

 of those included in the foregoing table; primary reference being had to 

 their promise for market purposes. 



Eclipse (Barton) is but partially tested; but, so far, promises well. 

 .Another season may be expected to pretty fully determine its value.
