DISCUSSION. 



J. W. True : Please name varieties to cover the whole season. 



Mr. Wooster : Some of the best early varieties are : Hawaii, 

 which I have sent out through New England and the West 

 for the growers to test, and they have reported very favorably. 

 The Puerto Rico is another very early variety which ought to 

 be in everyone's collection, and is very early. It has been tested 

 for four years, and is also very satisfactory. It is a very uni- 

 form, symmetrical and beautiful berry. It has fine flavor and is 

 excellent in quality. Do not plant on clayey soil, but on high 

 ground, give plenty of room and high cultivation. The Clyde 

 has been badly propagated and is inclined to rot. Give it dry 

 soil and plenty of room, and it will give very good returns. 

 The Glen Mary and Bubach are also good varieties. The Nick 

 Ohmer is a good grower and healthy, but not very productive 

 and so not profitable. The Parker Earle is a very late variety 

 and a good one. The Hunn is extremely late and inclined to 

 rust, but I have carefully selected my plants, set them in new soil, 

 carefully propagated them and got rid of the rust. They give 

 about a picking every other day.
