64 Fruit Culture. 



I think the Cumberland Triumph is the best strawberry 

 ever grown. 



This is rather .hard upon the Wilson, for which we 

 profess a fondness, though our taste, as those who know 

 us can easily believe, has not been ruined by "rum and 

 tobacco." 



A. N. HOAG: I name the following as varieties to which 

 I am partial, having fruited them all to profit : Wilson, Ju- 

 cunda, Sharpless, Captain Jack, Crescent Seedling. Others 

 do well with me, such as Metcalf, Prouty, Golden Queen, 

 Lenning's White and Glendale. 



WM. NEWLAND : The Wilson and Jucunda are the best 

 berries. 



H. G. WOLFF: Of varieties there are so many really 

 good ones that it is difficult to decide which is really prefer- 

 able. Jucunda and Wilson have proven best with me, so 

 far as tested, under all conditions. Sharpless promises well, 

 as do also Crescent Seedling, Glendale, Duchess, and others. 

 For profit I prefer the Jucunda. 



A. E. GIPSON : The varieties mostly cultivated in Gree- 

 ley are the Jucunda and Wilson. Recently the Sharpless 

 has come into great favor, and is being largely planted. 

 The Crescent yields well, but the fruit is not so good in 

 average quality nor in size as the others mentioned. The 

 Bidwell promises to be a formidable rival to the others, and 

 I shall not be surprised if it proves among the very best of 

 strawberries for general cultivation. 



R. T. CRAWFORD : Our soil is somewhat heavier than 

 that generally found on the town site of Colorado Springs, 

 being mixed with adobe. During the past season we have' 

 marketed many thousand boxes of strawberries of the fol- 

 lowing varieties : Crescent, Wilson, Glendale, Sharpless, 

 Charles Downing, Miners' Great Prolific, Jucunda, Presi- 

 dent Lincoln, Pioneer, Kentucky, Duchesse, Black Defiance, 

 Russell's Advance, Forest Rose, Bidwell, Seth Boyden, 

 Colonel Cheney, Panic, Great American and Monarch of the
