New Varieties in the Making 



Other novelties that have developed among the 

 progeny of the company of widely hybridized 

 strawberries include constant producers and 

 enormous producers that as yet lack some other 

 quality which will presently be supplied. 



I have also a white strawberry, grown from a 

 variety that I grew in my childhood back in Mas- 

 sachusetts* and which was said to have come from 

 Virginia. 



By hybridizing this species a few promising 

 white strawberries have been produced with new 

 and delicious flavors. These are not yet quite as 

 productive as could be wished. But second gen- 

 eration seedlings in great numbers are being 

 raised, and interesting results are sure to be 

 attained in the near future. 



My strawberry stock, like my stock of plums 

 and some other fruits, now consists of complex 

 hybrids from which almost anything may be ex- 

 pected. At least it is certain that new combina- 

 tions of qualities, within the extreme range of 

 strawberry variation, will appear among the seed- 

 lings of these conglomerate yet carefully nurtured 

 and selected stocks. 



Summarizing my work on this fruit, I would
