DUNEAP 
This is an old favorite, especially for the home garden. I have 
never grown a strawberry that produces so many runners, it is es- 
pecially hardy and vigorous. Dunlap is a heavy producer of medium 
sized, dark red fruit of fair quality. The greatest advantage of Dun- 
lap is its ability to make a good growth and produce heavily under al- 
most any condition. 
_ ABERDEEN 
I cannot recommend Aberdeen as more than a home garden 
variety. It is a very productive variety, making a good fruiting row, 
the fruit large, and of a light color. My only reason for not recom- 
mending it as a commercial berry is because the fruit is not firm 
enough to make it a good shipping berry. The berries should be used 
or sold the same day they are picked. An ideal home garden berry. 
SHELTON 
This is one of the newer varieties introduced by the Connec- 
ticut Experiment Station. I fruited Shelton last year and was very 
much pleased with the results. Shelton makes a good wide row bear- 
ing quite abundantly. Fruit is firm, similar to Chesapeake, and ripens 
a few days later than Premier. Give this berry a trial in your garden. 
MAY TIME — 
This is a new variety to me, and as I have not fruited it, I do 
not know too much about it. As the name indicates Maytime is an ex- 
tra-early berry, being even earlier than Premier. It produces runners 
freely, bearing a goodly number of firm bright red fruit of medium 
to large size. I do not recommend: planting where late frosts are 
prevalent. / 301 boog ob ilw ;
