NuMBER oF VaArRtiETIEs TESTED IN 1894. 
Exclusive of several hundred varieties of Station seedlings, 
there were grown at this Station in 1894, 164 varieties of straw- 
berries. Of this number 33 fruited here for the first time, and 
25 have not yet fruited. . 
STATION SEEDLINGS. 
The brief report of the work of breeding strawberries for the 
purpose of originating new varieties which was given in bulletin 
64 of this Station, afterward included in the annual report for 
1893, elicited many inquiries concerning the Station seedling 
strawberries and their introduction. In reply to these inquiries 
_ it may be said that none of the Station seedlings have yet been 
disseminated, and it is expected that none of them will be dis- 
seminated till after they have fruited in 1895. Whether any 
will be sent out then will depend on the record they make next 
summer. 
Whenever it is decided to distribute plants of the Station seed- 
ling strawberries, due notice will be sent to all names in this 
State on the bulletin list, and also to the Station Horticulturists 
in other States. The conditions under which the distribution is 
to be made will then be clearly set forth.
