194 MODERN STRAWBERRY GROWING 
get a variety that will supply this demand 
and keep up your standards of berry, pack- 
age, and packing, preferring rather to ship 
your seconds to a more distant market or to 
the cannery, rather than have them compete 
with, and thereby reduce, the price of your 
fancy fruit. Canneries are glad to obtain 
the fruit that is grown for the general 
market. 
Proper pollination of the fruits is one of 
the great factors of successful strawberry 
growing. Very few people realize that 
there is a difference in the flowers of straw- 
berries. 
It is very fortunate that practically all 
the commercial growers of plants state in 
their catalogues whether or not a plant pro- 
duces (P) pistillate or (B) bi-sexual flowers, 
thereby saving the grower value, time, and 
money. 
No attempt is here made to present a 
complete catalogue of present-day varieties, 
and new ones come along each season. I 
have, however, taken note of the best vari- 
eties as I see things, and these tables are 
offered as guides rather than as unalterable 
facts.
