per acre. The Beeder Wood, 10,890 quarts. The Greenville, 
8,394. The Parker Earle, 8,168, while the Tippecanoe, the twenty- 
sixth in point of yield, gave 4,990 quarts. If these were sold at 
the lowest factory prices (six cents per quart) the returns would 
be profitable, but there is always a market at better prices than 
the above for all first-class fruits. 
These estimates are taken from rows twenty-four feet long and 
four feet apart. One often hears of a yield of 20,000 quarts per 
acre, and as high as 40,000 quarts has been claimed, but at this 
Station we have been unable to obtain any advance on the figures 
given as the yield of Burt’s for this year. At this time it may be 
well to state that the strawberries under test here are grown 
precisely as they should be grown by the small fruit grower, the 
soil moderately rich and with clean cultivation, thus giving each 
and every variety the same opportunity to show its-merits. 
RASPBERRIES. 
Of the newer varieties of raspberries we have tested this ie 
for the first the following : 
Lovett’s Early. This blackcap has made a very vigorous 
growth since planted, and this year gave a fair yield of fruit. It 
proves one of the earliest. Fruits firm and of good size. It gives 
promise of being a desirable acquisition, but it will need another 
year’s test to be able to decide on its exact merits. 
No, 101. A blackcap from Kansas. From the one plant of 
this variety that fruited the opinion was formed that this would
