Klondyke, the great Southern Market Berry Medium Early Varieties Cooper. This variety has been highly recommended, especially among Michi- gan plant men, as being a most wonderful new variety. Their reports indicate that it is an especially hardy, healthy grower, that it is immensely productive of the biggest berries grown, that it is the sweetest and highest quality strawberry of them all, and that it will bring more money on any narket. We have fruited the Cooper only one year. Judging from the plant growth last year and the growth our young plants have made this season, the introducers and other plant men are right in saying that Cooper is an especially strong, vigorous grower. It is in fact one of the most vigorous growers we have ever seen. The one season (1924) that we have fruited Cooper was very wet, and under these conditions the plants set a large crop of berries and some of the berries got to be quite large, but the plants rusted so badly that only a small percentage of the crop was matured. The berries we did get were of fair quality, not as good as Chesapeake, Big Late or Wm, Belt. Perhaps in a dryer season Cooper would do better. We cannot see, however, why it should take the place of Premier. Dr. Burrill. We have tried for several years to find some difference between this variety and Senator Dunlap. We have ordered stock from the introducer two or three times and planted beside Senator Dunlap. The introducer insists that there is a difference, but we maintain that if so it is so slight that there is no point in planting one rather than the other. We have many letters from fruit growers agreeing with us on this question. We have a few that say Dr. Burrill seems to be better, and a few others claiming that Senator Dunlap is better.
