Remarks. —Since 1895 strawberry culture has been largely extended, especially on the Western 
slope of the peninsula. The Newnan has been allowed to degenerate and the fruit is now rather 
small for shipment. The Hoffman does better on clay than on sandy lands and needs high fertilizing. 
The Cloud is vigorous in North Florida and stands drouth well; prolific early in the season. Not 
liked so well in South Florida. Rising is very vigorous and prolific, a firm berry and an ex¬ 
cellent shipper. Its foliage, however, grows rather open and it does not protect its fruit well against 
a frost The Phenomenal seems to be almost identical with the Hoffman in physical characteristics, 
but it has a longer season in South Florida. In Bradford county Aroma and Middleton’s Early have 
been tested by individuals and reported on favorably. Glen Mary, Hood River, Dollar, Warfield, Star, 
Robbins Early, Splendid, Pride of Cumberland and Gandy have been tested and condemned. Klon¬ 
dike is a recent introduction of great promise, and has been given a place in the list of desirable va¬ 
rieties.
