From experience here in Connecticut, correspondence with lead- ing fruit growers in every State in the Union and Canada, as well as from personal observation in fourteen of the Western States during the fruiting season, we would classify the leading varieties as follows : LARGEST BERRIES.—Mammoth, Jewell, Pineapple, Miami, Jessie, Sharpless, Logan, Summit, Gandy, Bomba, Bubacb, Belmont. MOST PRODUCTIVE.—Bubach, Hoffman, Cloud, Mon- mouth, Warfield, Hampden, Lida, Haviland, Pineapple, Man- chester, Windsor Chief, Crescent, Itaska, Jewell. BEST FLAVORED.—Prince, Kentucky, May King, Charles Downing, Miner, Parry, Gold, Pineapple. EARLIEST.—May King, Cloud, Monmouth, Crescent, Bubach, Hampden, Parry, Wilson, Iron Clad. LATEST.—Manchester, Windsor, Kentucky, Ohio, Gandy. This classification is not given as an iron-clad rule to follow, but is general in its scope, and each family will vary it somewhat to suit their own taste and local conditions. It can, however, be used as a partial guide to assist in pointing out the way to a proper selection, either for home use or for market. By planting the early varieties on a warm sunny spot, and removing the mulching early in spring, and the late varieties on heavy moist soil or on a northern hillside, and keeping on the mulch as late as possible in the spring without injuring the plants, it is possible
