were produced generally although the yield was decreased in some 
localities by lack of rainfall or by other causes. 
The results given in this bulletin must not be taken as an index 
to the value of a variety in all locations and under all conditions. 
They indicate only the character of plant and fruit development 
under the local conditions existing at this Station, pointing out the 
strong and weak tendencies as they have appeared. It must be 
said again that the true value of a variety for each location can he 
determined only by actual trial in that place. 
Brief cultural suggestions were given in the previous bulletin. 
The demand for copies has been so great that the supply is ex- 
hausted. For this reason the description of varieties is followed by 
a revision of the brief cultural notes which may in a measure 
answer the numerous inquiries coming to this Station in regard to 
growing strawberries.

Plant makers.— Varieties differ widely in their ability to make 
new plants, and this tendency should be considered in determining 
the distance of planting. To make conditions uniform, however, 11 
this experiment all plants, except where noted, were set three feet by 
two feet. This distance was too great in some cases, resulting in a 
decreased yield. Other varieties made an unusually large number 
of plants which should have been thinned out or given more room. 
The following are lists of varieties producing very many or very 
few plants:
