In the absence of a column for remarks in the foregoing tabulation 

 occasion is taken to more fully elaborate the following notes: 



Auburn was obtained several years ago without name, from the place 

 of that name in New York. Its correct name is unknown. Although 

 unmistakably of the European type, it has, so far, been free from mildew. 

 The fruit is large and of superior flavor. 



Bendelon is a seedling of the European type, which originated several 

 years ago in Detroit, Michigan, and is said to have been, so far, free 

 from mildew. It was received for trial last spring from a gentleman of 

 that name. 



Champion is apparently partially or wholly of European parentage. It 

 comes to this sub-station without history and, so far, promises well. 



Golden (Prolific) was received and planted in 1890; but either from the 

 injury of two years ago or from inherent feebleness, it has made little 

 growth and has failed to fruit this year. 



Industry has been several years under cultivation here, but for some 

 time it mildewed badly. With spraying the past two years it has recov- 

 ered and has this season produced a tine crop of fruit free from mildew, 

 which is, no doubt, to be attributed to the free use of potassium sulphide. 



Keepsake and Lancashire Lad are varieties of foreign origin received 

 and planted last spring. 



Orange (Early) and Pearl are of foreign parentage, the former in New 

 York and the latter in Ontario. They can only be expected to succeed in 

 this climate by a resort to thorough spraying with fungicides.
