BEST STRAWBERRIES. 



Please yi\e me some in I'oiinat ion ;is 



to wliat kind of straw lierries would lie 



the best variety foi- greenhouse culture 



in pots. T. N. 



If you are ynie^ lo conliiie youiselt' 

 to one variety I think Nick ( )iner is the 

 liest. It is not i(iiite so hi;;ii cl;is< in 

 ♦piality ;is some of the others, but it 



always c;iu be relied on to produce 



|)leiity ot' pollen for the fert ili/.al imi of 

 the tloweis. 1/ick of |iolleu is a draw 

 hack to m.-iiiy ot the best ll.avured v;i- 

 rieties. The old Sharpless is one ot' 



the lievi vaiielic'-- for forcilie purjiose^. 



but i- ;i rather shv produ<-er ot' polieii 

 duiiii'^ the ^liort winter d.ays. thouj;h by 

 jjiMwiii:; ihi> too,. til, .r with Nick timer, 

 the later variety will ]iroduce polhn 

 enou;ah til make up the delicicncv .
