VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES GROWN. 



At Alvin, Tex., the favorite variet}^ among the strawberry 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 country to which these 

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

 any but bisexual varieties. Arkansas growers, who probably suffer 

 more or less loss every 3^ear from the strawberr}^ weevil, should be 

 encouraged to introduce suitable earl}^ pistillate varieties, as the insect 

 in that State threatens to cause, occasionally at least, considerable 

 destruction.
