SMALL FRUITS. 17 



Other fertilizer I have seen. Take the Louise and fertilize 



with and it is a very nice smooth berry. It does not 



look like the same fruit as that fertilized with Captain Jack, 

 and I have noticed that there is the same, but not such a marked 

 difference as there is between the Vick and Crescent, and Cap- 

 tain Jack and Bubach. 



NEW STRAWBERRIES AND SOME NOT SO NEW. 



G. J. KELLOGG, JANESVILLE, WIS. 



I regret that state institute work prevents my meeting with j^ou 

 at the grandest review of the year. 



In testing new strawberries it is impossible to prove any variety 

 in less than three to five years on j^our own ground. I shall only 

 attempt to briefly mention a part of those that have been before the 

 public for the past few j^ears. with a few others on trial. 



Accomac, large, earlj^, often a failure. 



Allen No. 1. (p) medivim size and every way worthy of general 

 trial. 



Anna Forest, large, earlj^ not a success in 189.3. 



Aroma, grand and good, firm enough to ship. 



Beverly, one of the prize varieties, promising if petted. 



Bessie, (p) small, its productiveness its greatest favxlt. 



Beebe, large, irregular, show}^, vigorous. 



Belle, large, verj- late, good and productive. 



Boynton, seems identical with Crescent. 



Cameronian, probably the largest show berr}- yet produced 

 unproductive. 



Cruse's No. 9, late, vigorous, productive. 



Crawford, perfect everj^ way, yet lacking productiveness. 



Clingto, small, productive. 



Cj'clone, early, productive, one of the best. 



Clyde and Cj^cloma, the same; firm, productive, promising for 

 ^market. 



Cleveland, Mrs., (p) productive, off color, soft and only valuable 

 for home use and near market. 



Clark, same as Idaho. 



Dayton, large, needs careful treatment, unproductive in matted 

 rows in some places; on some soils wonderfully satisfactory. 



Dew, ver}^ large, of Sharpless type, needs special treatinent. 



Edith, one of the largest size and worthy of trial. 



Equinox, claims to be the very latest and most productive. 



Earle, late, enormouslj^ prodvictive and needs a heavy manure 

 tnulch. 



Ed. Queen, (p) the best of 5,000 seedlings, is of the Bubach type, 

 late and worthy of general planting. 



Enhance, very productive, late, vigorous, firm and one of the best 

 for pollen; its great objection is that some seasons it is rough and 

 rigid; but is making its way to the front
