bear a good crop of fruit on the tips of tiie new shoots ripening: in
September in addition to the usual crop borne in early summer.
Outstanding in the vineyard plots were Stueben, a blue grape of Concord season, and Seneca, an early white grape of the California type.
The strawberry plots included several newly introduced varieties worthy of testing in at least the cooler section of Virginia. These are Sparkle, Temple, Fairland, and Empire. They all have large glossy berries that are above average in firmness, attractive, and superior in quality to the standard varieties how recommended for Virginia.
One study showed that everbearing strawberries can be expected to give good yields in Virginia if properly handled. They should be planted in a hill system, with one foot spacing between rows and plants, and mulched with sawdust. Oberle says his tests indicated that several varieties may be expected to yield up to 8,000 quarts of berries per acre for the crop ripening in late summer and fall.
