In the following tables we give the results of the test of those 

 varieties which have been jdauted long enough to produce a full crop, 

 leaving many new kinds that have borne only a partial crop for a 

 future Bulletin. 



STRAWBERRIES. 



One hundred and eight varieties fruited in our experimental plots 

 the past year. These were largely new kinds, but included some of 

 the old standard sorts grown for comparison, all of the inferior 

 varieties of last season having been discarded. 



Twenty-five plants are set in each plot, twelve of them being grown 

 in hills, while the other thirteen are allowed to grow into the matted 

 row. The crop was a little later than that of last season. The fruit 

 was picked, carefully weighed and compared in size, color, form, 

 quality, etc., with the old standard sorts.
