plants are not very productive, at least, that is our experience for 1895. The 

 quality is very good, the flavor mild and agreeable, for dessert purposes. The 

 season is late, the first ripe berries coming on June 15th. 



The Woolverton strawberry has done well 

 at Maplehurst this year. The vine appears to root 

 deeply, and, therefore, is less susceptible to drouth 

 than most varieties. Standing at one side of the 

 patch, it is very easy to distinguish the rows of this 

 variety by the dark green color of the foliage, and 

 vigor of growth. The fruit is also large, the finest 

 samples taking a somewhat flattened shape, as shown 

 in Fig. 793, and the others more evenly conical. They 

 color dark red, and the flesh is fairly firm and agree- 

 able in flavor, with very little acid. They seem to 

 yield well, also, as is shown by the accompanying 

 photogravure (Fig. 794). 



This berry is a seedling grown by Mr. John Little, 

 of Granton, and named after the editor, for which 

 reason we hope it may prove a success. 



The Enhance, too, disappoints us this season at Maplehurst. The vines 

 are laden with fruit, but apparently so sensitive to drouth that they will be very 

 small in size. We will not report definitely concerning them until next season.
