VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES GROWN. 



At Alvin, Tex., the favorite variety among the !?trawberry growers 

 is the Klondike, while at the other localities mentioned individual 

 preference seems to be divided between the Lad}' Thompson, Michel, 

 and Excelsior varieties. In the section of the countr}^ to which these 

 notes refer, the writer has never met any strawberr}^ growers who use 

 any but ])isexual varieties. Arkansas growers, who probably suffer 

 more or less loss every year from the strawberry weevil, should be 

 encouraged to introduce suitable early pistillate varieties, as the insect 

 in that ?^tate threatens to cause, occasionallv at least, considerable 

 destruction.
