VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES GROWN. 



At Alvin, Tex., the favorite variety among the strawberry growers 

 is the Klondike, while at the other localities mentioned individual 

 preference seems to be divided between the Lady Thompson, Michel, 

 and Excelsior varieties. In the section of the country to which these 

 notes refer, the writer has never met any strawberry growers who use 

 any but bisexual 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 State threatens to cause, occasionally at least, considerable 

 destruction.
