Bu- bach was a standard sort a quarter of a cen- tury ago but is now being discarded because the plants are not good plant-makers, and the berries are soft and irregular in shape; the plants are very productive, however, and the berries are large, handsome, and of very good quality.

Chesapeake is one of the most promising of the new straw- berries. It has several distinctive characters, chief of which are vigor and healthfulness of plants, and beauty and attractiveness of fruit. The plants do not multiply so rapidly as those of most varieties, and therefore should be set somewhat thickly.
