The bulletin is intended as an aid to both commercial and amateur strawbevr groVcrs. The informatiin is based largely on the experience of successful growers in practically every important commercial strawberry-producing district throughout the country, but the results of experiment-station tests, the experience of commercial canners and by-product manufacturers, the preferences of amateur fruit growers, and the conclusions resulting from wide observations of the depart meat's specialists have been used in making up the variety lists which arc given for different sections. From the beginning of commercial strawberry growing, about 1800, the Large Early Scarlet was the leading variety grown in the United States. About 1800 the Wilson replaced this variety, because it was much firmer and was more suitable for shippim to distant marki ts. From about t SO varieties began to replace each .dher in more rapid succession, uniil at present 2b sort:* constitute about 00 p r cent of the total commercial tvawberry acreage. The Klondike, the leading* variety in the Southern 'states, heads the list, constituting 2S l> i cent of the total strawberry acre age. The Aroma, the favorite variety in the* South Central States, is second with Id per cent of the total acre 1 age, while the I hi.dan in the Northern States ranks third, with 10 pei cent. New Sorts Established. Since 1000 many varieties especially adapted to condition:} in various parts of the country have been introduced. Thus the Missionary luu become the leading sort in Centra Florida and the Klondike in mosl other parts of the South; the Aromr in most of the milder reegions ol the Central States from southern Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, soutl to Tennessee and Arkansas; the I)u> la> in all the Middle West north o the Aroma section; the Jacunda ii western Colorado; the Clark- Mnv , shall, Oregon, and Klondike in mos of the Pacific Coast States; and tin Candy in the States north of tin Ohio and Potomac Rivers and casi of the Mississippi. In the Northeastern States the Chesapeake, Joe Parsons, Late Stevens, licit, Glen Mary and Williams arc widely grown. The Klondike became the favorite in the South, because it mak<*'s a quick growth of plant and berry in tin early spring, so that the fruit matures before the extremely hot weather. The berries are firm enough to hold up several days in shipment to market, and the variety is fairly resistant to diseases that are common in southern regions. In the North Central States strawberry growing was not entirely safe until infm/l....!.'? *1 , < a 1/ t W1 I 11 V.

Wild strawberries do not often supply ripe fruit for more than three week's, and until the Wilson was introduced this was i the usilal length of time that fruit, could he obtained on any one market. With the introduction of still firmer sorts, it became possible to obtain strawberries in the larger markets from early in the winter, when the berries arc shipped from Florida, until July, when berries ripen in the extreme North. Since the introduction of the Superb, in 1911, and the Progressive, in 1912, it has been possible to obtain locally grown berries n most northern markets' continumsly from July to October. Pollination Necessary. Two types of flowers, imperfect or , distillate, and perfect or staminato, , ire produced by different strawberry arieties. Imperfect flowers contain i istils- but no stamens, while perfect ? lowers contain both. Poilen which ; s produced in the stamens is essen- t ial to the setting of fruit. A vari- < ty with perfect flowers, therefore, t an produce fruit when planted by ? tsclf, but one with imperfect flovvrs can not set fruit unless flowering lants are near to furnish v rv,,vl1 i rough the agency of boos or other r i sects. Where imperfect varieties ? re used the usual practice in plantig* is to set one row of a perfect ariet.v for every two or throe rows s r an imperfect one. f N'cw varieties are being constant- 11 introduced to the trade, but ac.rding to the bulletin, few of themi'* | j o Piles Cured in 6 ir> *d Day * > fend tr.oncy ii PA'.iO 0" \ MF fn.'.a ,. i euro I tell I nil, Oilnd, E! ?coln 5 r Prot Tdl): Pllon.

Versailles. May 7.?Count von BrockdorflT-Rantzr.il. head of the German delegation, replying to Premier Clemenceau of France, who presented the terms of peace, spoke as follows in German: "Gentlemen: We are deeply impressed with the sublime task which has brought u^ hither to give a durable peace to the world. Wc are under no illusion as to the extent of our defeat and the degree of our want of power. We know that the power of the German army is broken. jWr know the power of the hatred | which we encounter hero, and we |have hoard the passionate ,in?v?o*. i? vicinal! ir> that the vanquishers may make us 'pay as the vanquished, and shall | punish those who are worthy of j being; punished.

"Nobody will want to contend that . | the disaster took its course onlv in jtlic disastrous moment when the suc.I ccssor to the throno of AustriaI Hungary fell tho victim of rnurder, our hands. In tho last fifty years r tho imperialism of all tho European . states has chronically poisoned the ^ international situation. The policy ^ of retaliation and the policy of ex! pnnsion and the disregard of the ;; rights of to dctoi ndnc their . own destiny have contributed to the I illness of Europe, which saw its crisis ? in the world war. 3 "Russian mobilization took from t the statesmen the possibility of - healing;, ami gave the decision into - the hands of the military powers. Public opinion in all the countries of our adversaries is resound> ing- with tho crimes which Germanv is said to have committed in the war. Here also we arc ready tv> confess wrong- that may have been done. Willing to Repair. "We have not come here to belitt'e the responsibility of the men who inc war politically and economically, or to deny any crimes which may have been committed against the rights of peoples. Wo repeat the declaration which has been made in I he German Reichstag at the beginning of the war, that is to say, 'Wrong has been done to Belgium.' And we are willing to repair it. "But in the manner of making war also Germany is not the only guilty one. Every nation knows of deeds and of people which the best nationals only remember with regret. I do not want to answer by reproaches, but 1 ask them to remember, when reparation is demanded, not to forget the armistice. It took yon six weeks until we got it at last and six more until we came to know your conditions of peace.
