46 CULTIVATION OF VARIETIES.

manner of the cultivation of some persons will con- 
form to some varieties, and be opposed to others, per- 
haps superior; or some soils and climates are naturally 
adapted to some varieties, and unadapted to others, so 
that the custom we have adopted in years past, we 
would recommend to those going into the cultivation 
of the strawberry, viz.: Obtain a plant or two of 
several of the best varieties named, and cultivate them 
experimentally for two or three years, and then select 
the most successful ones and discard the others. 
Another difficulty arises from the new developments 
constantly making, which tends to exalt a neglected 
variety in some sections of our country, and depress a 
favorite one in other parts, so that we shall, it is pro- 
bable, in future editions take the liberty of amending 
or changing our opinions respecting some of the differ-

shall demand. 
Another point of delicacy still arises, from the fact

which they think and speak in the highest terms; but 
from what little we have seen of them, and their trial 
being mainly in the hands of the originators, we do 
not feel authorized to speak of them pro or con. 
Some varieties we do not name will doubtless prove
