Earrty VARIETIES AND LATE VARIETIES. 
Some strawberry growers find it to their advantage to raise 
early varieties, and frequently we are asked to name the varieties 
which have given the best yield at this station early in the 
season. ‘This demand for very early sorts seems to come chiefly 
from growers who are supplying a local market and who%find 
that the high prices received early in the season permit very 
early kinds to be grown with profit even when they are not so 
productive as later sorts. 
By consulting the following table, p.!673, a comparison may be 
made of the thirty varieties of strawberries which gave the high- 
est yields at this station in 1893 and their seasonTof ripening 
may be noted. For convenience of reference the’ names are 
arranged alphabetically. In the first column is given the rank 
of the variety according to its yield at this station in 1893.1! The 
third column shows what per cent of its total yield was picked 
prior to June 21, 1893. The fourth column shows what per cent | 
of the crop was picked after July 1, 1893.
