New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 46k 
Beeder Woods, P.—This has proved th2 most productive 
newly tested variety fruited this year. Growth of plants, stocky ; 
foliage, dark green ; fruit-stems, long and weak ; must be mulched;. - 
the fruits, which are produced in large clusters, are not extra 
large, but of good market size and hold their size through a 
long picking season. We picked fruits for twenty-one days. The 
berries are conical, showy, scarlet; too soft to ship long distances, 
and subacid. 3 
California, P.— This is received from Delaware. It is of low 
stocky growth; very short fruit-stems; fruits long, conical, with 
distinct neck; color dark scarlet; average in size, and firm; 
quality good. ; 
Duboise, P. — A variety originated at Newburgh, N. Y. Growth 
similar to Sharpless; the fruits of this variety are different from 
any variety of strawberry tested, being very dry and spongy, and 
not uf good quality ; neither do the plants produce a’ large yield. 
Edgar Queen, P.— This variety is from [linois; is a wonder- 
fully vigorous growing variety. Each plant was covered with 
bloom, but did not resist the drought as well as other varieties. 
It looked as if it would prove a complete failure, but revived 
after a heavy shower and produced afaircrop. We think it would 
have been very fine if the season had beenenormal. 
Greenville— This Ohio seedling has the same habit of growth 
and general appearance as Sharpless, but is more productive. 
The fruits do not seem to be fixed as to type; berries of the 
shape of Bubach and Sharpless, and others that were conical, 
being found on the same plant, but never with the green tip of 
the Sharpless. Fruits firm enough to ship, and although not of 
the finest flavor, better than the average. We think well of this, 
and consider it a promising new sort. 
Gipsey, Imp.— This variety is low and stocky in seri pro- 
duced well in stool row, and was fairly productive in matted rows’; 
berries of medium size, firm and of good ‘flavor. 
Hulbert, P.—Of Sharpless type of growth and foliage. The 
fruit-stems are very stout, holding large clusters of good-sized 
conical fruits well up in foliage, thus keeping the fruits clean 
when not mulched; fairly productive,'firm ; pleasing, subacid. 
Kimsey’s No. 49.—A Kansas seedling of vigorous growth, but 
of only medium productiveness ; quite firm and tart.
