Heating  Hotbed  with  Lamps 
I  have  a  hotbed  that  I  am  using  each 
Spring.  Manure  is  getting  costly  and 
hard  to  obtain  in  my  locality.  I  am 
thinking  of  using  one  or  two  brooder 
lamps  this  Spring  instead  of  the  manure. 
I)o  you  think  it  will  work,  or  will  the 
fumes  from  the  oil  lamps  kill  or  retard 
the  growth  of  young  plants?  The  hotbed 
is  a  small  one.  being  6x6x3  ft. 
Paterson,  N.  J.  G.  w.  w. 
This  proposition  is  not  practical  at  all. 
I  have  tried  heating  small  hotbeds  with 
stove,  hot-air  pipes,  etc.,  but  never  found 
anything  as  satisfactory  as  hot  manure. 
With  brooder  lamps,  as  with  stoves,  the 
plants  nearest  the  heat  will  grow  tall  and 
spindly,  while  those  at  ends  of  bed  will 
not  get  heat  enough.  The  oil  would  cost 
more  than  the  manure,  besides  a  great 
deal  more  care,  and  the  danger  of  the 
gas  killing  the  plants.  When  the  bed  is 
put  down  with  good  hot  manure  your 
work  and  worry  is  over.  WM.  PERKINS. 
New  Strawberry  Varieties 
I  take  half  a  dozen  farm  papers,  but  I 
get  the  most  real  information  out  of  The 
R.  N.-Y.  Of  course,  there  are  depart¬ 
ments  I  like  best,  so  in  paging  the  leaves 
first  I  look  for  descriptions  of  new  va¬ 
rieties  and  for  advertisements  advertising 
them.  I  was  very  glad  to  get  reports  on 
Two  Rows  of  Champion  Strawberries 
Liveland  Raspberry  and  Cortland  apples, 
and  I  follow  your  descriptions  of  fruits 
and  vegetables  very  closely.  I  wouid 
like  other  farmers  having  something  new 
that’s  good  tell  us  about  it,  instead  of 
having  to  get  our  information  from  nur¬ 
sery  catalogues.  Reports  from  Experi¬ 
ment  Stations  are  best,  but  so  often  a 
variety  may  not  show  up  in  other  sections 
of  the  country. 
I  like  such  kind  of  description  so  well 
I  am  tempted  to  write  of  a  new  ever- 
bearing  strawberry  called  the  Champion. 
I  have  tried  several  kinds  of  everbearing 
strawberries,  including  Progressive  and 
Superb,  and  could  never  see  just  where 
there  was  any  money  growing  them.  Most 
always  the  fruit  would  be  so  small  it 
would  not  be  worth  picking.  I  gave  up 
the  everbearing  end  of  it.  when  I  heard 
of  this  new  variety  and  thought  it  worth 
trying.  Always  eager  to  try  the  most 
promising,  I  bought  a  good  planting  from 
the  introducer.  I  set  them  April  3.  I 
tried  to  keep  the  blossoms  picked  to  get 
more  plants,  but  they  came  too  fast,  and 
this  Fall  I  sold  enough  to  nearly  double 
the  price  of  plants, -besides  what  we  ate 
and  gave  away.  I  sold  them  wholesale 
to  a  fruit  dealer  for  30  cents  per  quart. 
The  demand  was  surprisingly  good.  They 
are  of  good  quality,  of  medium  size,  but, 
unfortunately,  are  inclined  to  he  soft,  so 
cannot  be  shipped ;  however,  they  are  a 
good  home  berry.  By  the  accompanying 
picture  you  will  see  they  are  good  plant 
makers. 
For  a  standard  commercial  berry,  I 
have  found  the  Gibson  the  best  I  have 
tested.  It  is  a  wonderful  plant  maker, 
and  the  greatest  producer  I  have  ever 
seen.  I  understand  the  berry  section  of 
Brant,  near  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  grows  this 
berry  exclusively.  They  have  a  heavy 
soil,  but  it  does  well  with  me  on  gravel.
