New YorK AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 23 
Varieties of strawberries, with cultural directtons.— Bulletin No. 
309 describes the newer varieties of strawberries with some of the 
standard kinds for comparison. ‘These descriptions are followed by 
some cultural directions so that the bulletin may be used in answer- 
ing the numerous inquiries which come to the Station in regard to 
the growing of strawberries. In describing the varieties an effort 
has been made to lay especial emphasis on the good and the poor 
characters of the new sorts as tested under the conditions at this 
Station. Attention is called to the fact that the results as pub- 
lished are not to be taken as absolute and that they may not even 
indicate what might be expected under widely different conditions 
of environment.
