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 excellent shipper. Its foliage, however, grows rather open 
and it does not protect its fruit well against a frost. The Phenomenal seems to be al¬ 
most 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 in¬ 
dividuals and reported on favorably. Glen Mary, Hood River, Dollar, Warfield, Star, 
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 de¬ 
sirable varieties.
