 on heavy land. 



The Durand Seedling has not done as well 

 with me as it at first promised. Its foliage has 

 seemed somewhat delicate and unable to endure 

 the hot sun, and though producing some very 

 large fruit, many of the blossoms failed, and 

 in shade the berries would " damp off" and 

 decay. But with careful hill culture on light 

 soils, I should think it might prove one of the 

 best among the large varieties. The fruit of 

 the Agriculturist also tended somewhat to 

 scalding and decay, but with open row or hill 

 culture on a light soil it does wonders. As 

 grown upon the bed described, the Russell 

 would make one of the finest varieties in exht 

 ence, if it were only a little firmer. Summing 

 up the results of the experiment, it may be said 

 that the Wilsons gave the largest yield, while in
