Of the several everbearing strawberries on probation, one of the most meritorious is Peerless, a recent introduction from Samuel Cooper, Delevan, New York. It is veiy similar in plant and fruit to the well- known Superb, but the berries are larger in size, of better quality, and the plants are more productive. The variety is adapted to conditions under which the older variety thrives. Under most conditions Peerless is a better strawbeny than Superb and should replace it. POCOMOKE, Gibson. This variety is occasionallj' found in western New York, but is more generally grown in Michigan and in the Middle West. Its outstanding characters are hardy and productive plants and large, handsome berries, firm enough to reach the market in good condition. Pocomoke re- sembles Parsons and by some is thought to be identical. The variety originated in Maryland and was introduced about 1902. Perfect. Plants vigorous, healthy and make runners freely. Fruit midseason, medium to large, round-conic, bright crimson; flesh firm, well colored, brisk subacid; quality good. PREMIER. This variety is being intro- duced by several nurserymen who speak well of it; at Geneva, New York, the berries run large and are attractive in shape. The variety is a seedling of unknown parentage raised by E. H. Riehl, Alton, Illinois, in 1912. Perfect. Plants medium in number and vigor, healthy, productive; leaves small, rugose, dull ; flowers early; fruit-stems very short,
