6 The Canadian Horticulturist. 



The majority of those who buy in the market want size first of all, then 

 color and freshness of look, and are not at all particular as to the flavor o 

 quality, perhaps never testing a single berry, but buying by the eye alone ; while 

 with some people looks go for very little, and they want quality alone. Quite a 

 number of varieties that stand high in quality of fruit, and are the very best for 

 the table, cannot be got to market in good shape, and so should not be marked 

 high as a market variety, except it may be for a very near market. 



It may be of benefit to those who have' not grown any great number of the 

 later varieties to give a list, pointing out the different points in which they 

 excel, as follows : 



Early Sorts. — Van Deman, Margaret, Nichol's Early, Rio, Stone's Early, 

 Beder Wood, Clyde, Cyclone, Haverland, Crescent, Meek's Early, Dayton. 



Mid Season. — Bubach, Warfield, Greenville, Leader, Saunders, Tennessee 

 Prolific, Mary, Enhance, Bisel, Brandywine, Lovett, Williams, Longfield. 



Late. — Aroma, Timbrell, Woolverton, Muskingum, Gandy, Parker Earle, 

 Equinox, Jersey Queen, Maple Bank, Belle and others.

 Jessie, Gillespie, Auburn, Saunders.

 Jersey Queen, Muskingum, Marshall, No Name, Ohio Centennial, Van Deman, 

 Timbrell, Eureka, Hunt's No. 3.

 Deman, Warfield, Aroma, Brandywine, Longfield, Cyclone, Robinson, Tenne-

There are other varieties that have good qualities worthy of trial, some 

 that have not been fully tested as yet and so are not placed in the lists of the 

 varieties that, after full trial, have secured recognition over a wide extent. 



Below is a list of kinds having many good points, some of them not fully 

 tested : 



Phillips, Beverley, Magnate, Barton's Eclipse, Afton, Gertrude, Howard's 

 No. 25, Hiawatha, Jurabolo, Kansas Prolific, Princess, Smith's, Sunnyside, 

 Scarlet Ball, Springdale, Huntsman, Splendid, Thompson's No. '40, Gandy, 

 Bell, Vera, Plow City, Beauty, Richmond, Hutch Ex. Station 24, Eflfie May, 

 Charlie, Ivanhoe, Epping, Judsonia, Oberholtzer, America, Snowball. 



The following are of little merit, and I have decided they are not worth 

 growing : 



Anna Forrest, Auburn, Dayton, Dew, Edwards' Favorite, Eureka, Farns- 

 worth, Gillespie, Accomac, Bessie, Stevens, Westbrook, Alabama, Clark's E., 

 Middlefield, Mrs. Cleveland, Prize, Martha, Crimson Cluster, Beebe, Parker
