There is neither pleasure nor profit in raising inferior fruit. To be 
salable, Strawberries must be of good size and attractive in form and color. 
To be profitable, they m\ist be vigorous and prolific. For the private garden, 
they should possess higli flavor. We have this season rejected a large nuniber 
of old varieties for better sorts. We recommend the kinds which do the best 
in our trial beds, where all have the same soil and treatment. These we plant 
most largely for market and for sale.— Address to Hampden Haroest Club.
