A B C OF STRAWBERRY CULTURE. 



a swamp unless looked after. It has, however, been voted a 

 failure, at least through the Northern States. 



The Eureka is a rank, strong-growing vine, free from rust. 

 The berries are large and finely shaped, and in some localities 

 it has been wonderfully productive. 



The Charles Downing has been described already. It is 

 equal to any in quality, and in a good many localities is very 

 productive. It will always have its firm adherents. 



I hardly need mention the .Wilson. Everybody has it ; and 

 a good many large berry-growers, including J. M. Smith, of 

 Green Bay, Wis., declare that it will give the grower more mon- 

 ey than any other berry known. The Wilson is the berry that 

 gave strawberry-growing its great prominence. It is a great 

 bearer, rather tart, and not very large, as a general rule.
