The following well prepared ad- | reas was delivered before the Bates County Horticulturat Society, at its gecting in this city, last Saturday, Chas. I. Robards: Mr. President ladies and gentle- temen of the Bates County Horti- HP edtural Soitety: 4 The only inspiration one ought to have to write On sO inviting a sub- ject as the one you have given me, is the delightful remembrance of the strawberries and cream ot !ast May and June. Thetruth seems to have been clearlyproven that he who desires fresh strawberrics has only to plant | and give reasonable cultivation to [have the assurance of an abundant ‘gop the following season. Varie- fies, soil and situation however, have smuch to do with growth, vigor and productiveness of plants that it maybe considered important that every one who has any experience with different sorts give the result of fis observations by which those who desire to plant The questions that every one wish- may be profited. ssanswered are, what are the most productive and hardy kinds both for home use for market. The same tacts hold good with the straw- and ferry that apply to the cereals and vegetables of our Jand. While there are many vari ate peculiarly adapted to certain lo— all general crops that thrive sufficiently ay with all ties that | alities there are a few kinds ot well everywhere to do avy necessity for experement. "The Mediteranean wheat and the Early Rose potatc, hav areputation for a ceria able vield in all latrudes wherever such crops can be produc- established nty of profit and soils edto entitle them to preference. But as an essay written at the re- quest of a Horticu:tural ought to be plain, practical far as possible instructive, it will be statement Society, and as my duty to give a concise of tacts relauve to my experience in regard to points of excellence claim— ed tor the varieties to which I give preference over all others tested and my reasons for so doing. For in- stance while every one mav not suc- | seed with: the Monarch of the West or Great American there have been discovered and sufficiently tested a few'valuable sorts that seem as de- all strawberries I have y fit that will of BUTLER, MISSOURI, t the The cent is the most rampant grower produc a good crop of season after planting.

The Mt. Ver- noun is only second in vigor and pro- | ductiveness to the Crescent. The berries of both varieties are large, while the Mt. Vernon has the habit of holding its large fruit high up off the ground, the fruit being of a_ rich spicy flavor. In a few wordsto give a list ot varieties to succeed under all ordinary treatment and on all soils 1 would, taking the result of my ex- perience as a guide, and taking 1,000 plants for illustration advise to plant 400 Crescent’s, 200 Cumberland Triumph 300.

Vern- on the latest to ripen so that by plant- have the ing those four varieties we size, flavor, productiveness and ex- as pos- tent of season occupied as far sible. Strawberry culture is only im its infancy in the West. Taking in- ation the fact that we have to conside the assurance that with our increas- ed tacilities tor evaporating, canning and o fear of a surplus of this fruit and realizing that with same amount of ground éccupied no other fruit can compete with it in productiveness, ntee of certain prot- the growth and cultivation of this fruit we have a guar 1 stimulus te it one that will in a few years mz of our most import industries. For these reasons itis of great impor- t to the growth and management of it e that whatever we do in regard should be guided by the result of the | united experience of all who have had any management of it. My mode of culture, so far, has been of the simplest and least labo Thave given fair prep rious kind. aration to land in the way of pulver izing and manuring, planting in long rows, setting the plants 1S inches apart in the rows and rows from 4 to 5 feet apart, top dressing im the fall with compost and mulching lightly in the beginning ot well-rotted termined to grow and produce 4 trop of trui fies have heen grown, from Maine to Georgia, comes the united testimony of hundreds of amateurs and truit towers to the tact that the Crescent Seeding, the Cumberland Triumph, the Sharpless and the Mt.

Improvements are constantly be- ing sought, however and no doubt will be made in some respects on all these varieties. Having grown and fruited, those mentioned above, the Bidwell, Manchester, Capt. Jack, Windsor Chief. Miners Great, Prolific Kentucky. Warren, Endicott, Presiaent Wilder and a few | others that have not yet fruited with me, I concluded to select the four Yaticties to which Igive preference, for the reasons that from them with the same treatment, in the same ‘ou and on the same soil I rec the greatest vigor ot plants and the largest yield of fruit the first season sitter planting. ved Many of the varieties above men- | boned indeed showed but very Erle tent the first season, while the Cres- ! 1s the most noxious weed or | winter with a covering of hay.
