SELECT LIST OF NEW VARIETIES 
Some of these ‘have been tested by us for 
three and four years. others we are propagat- 
ing for the first time 
Each variety mentioned shows considerable 
merit and is worthy of a trial in al] sections of 
the country. It is only by keeping a testing 
plot each season that the berry growers are 
kept in close touch with all the best varie- 
ties and any variety in the list may prove a 
fortune to some berry grower, by being just the 
variety for his particular purpose. If the Nurs- 
erymen and Horticulturists of the country had 
not kept constantly testing out new seedlings, 
erossing and recrossing varieties, the strawber- 
ry would be today just where is was 100 years 
ago, when only a few wild seedlings and French 
stock were known. I have advised my cus- 
tomers for fifteen years to get the habit of 
testing out in a small way most of the new va- 
rieties offered. We give below a short descrip- 
‘tion of a few we are -offering for trial this 
season. 
ALBERT.—Sent to us from Idaho, by Mr. Free- 
man, has made no runners, we have seen no

OSCAR.—Sent to us by Mr. Freeman, has made 
fine .growth, and showd some of the finest

ALLWILD.—A seddling sent to us by a Kan- 
sas grower, found on a range where strawber- 
ries were not in fifty miles of the place, a bird 
probably dropped the seed fifty years before and 
being a rich fertile soil a bed of plants had 
| sprouted and grown to be several feet wide. 
This is one of the cleanest plants we have ever 
grown, fruit is large, with bright shiny color

NEW STRAWBERRIES FOR TRIAL 
Every season we are offered many new. in- 
troductions in strawberries. Most of these of- 
fers coming from Experimental Stations and ex-_ 
pert Horticulturists. We usually give as much 
space in our testing plots as possible to these 
new untried varieties. 
The past season we were offered eight new 
seedlings from the N. Y. Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station, Geneva, N. Y., by Mr. Katamier. 
After testing out thousands of seedlings the 
New York Agricultural Experiment Station se- 
lected the following eight varieties as having 
merit. I am more than delighted with them. 
They have made a splendid growth, each vari- 
ety, and I picked some of the finest fruit from 
the Spring set plants, which blossomed and 
fruited until July despite the fact that we pinch- 
ed off the blossoms several times. I feel that 
it will be to the interest of our customers to 
give these new varieties a test at once. We 
describe them briefiy as follows: Mr. Katka- 
miers descriptions.
