Woodford. Not very vigorous or productive the past season, but 

 quite hardy. Fruit large, of fine appearance and good quality. 



Snyder, Taylor and Agawam are the standard vaiielies for this 

 locality. Snyder is a profitable market variety under high cultivation. 



StrawbeiTies. 



In the following table the results of the variety tests with straw- 

 berries are given in condensed form. In this test of varieties, many 

 of the older ones that had [)roved worthless or of little value previ- 

 ous to ISUG, were discarded, and many new ones added. The plots 

 from which the records were taken were set the first week in May, 

 1895. Twenty-five plants of each variety were set eighteen inches 

 apart. Sept. 11, a severe hailstorm accompanied by a heavy fall 

 of rain swept over the grounds, cutting the foliage badly and wash- 

 ing and covering many of the plants. This made the results less 

 satisfactory than they otherwise would have been, but as they all 

 received the same treatment, this probably did not affect their rela- 

 tive standing. 



The fruit was carefully weighed when picked to determine the 

 productiveness.
