possesses all other qualities necessary, and should it continue to be pro- 

 ductive it would be a most valuable market berry. 



Weston. — By an oversight Weston was not included in the planting 

 made two years ago. In the old patch (second year fruiting) the plants 

 were remarkably free from blight and the most vigorous in the plantation. 



Williams. — Last year the plants rusted badly. This season the plants 

 were sprayed and the variety made an excellent showing as a market 

 sort. Its good points are productiveness, firmness, and attractive 

 appearance. 



The following varieties have much of promise in them, but further trial 

 is needed before determining their place: 



The following list includes sorts that have some good points, but they 

 are so deficient in others that there is little hope of their ever occupying 

 a prominent place among the standard varieties: 



Accomac, 



Alabama, 



Cameronian, 



Clark Seedling, 



Cheyenne, 



Fairmount, 



Glenfield, 



Hattie Jones,

 the rejected list:

 Ohio Monarch. 



A few brief notes upon the comparatively new, yet longer tested, sorts 

 should be given. The reader is referred to the table for further data con- 

 cerning their qualities. 



Beder Wood, in vigor of plant growth and productiveness, is exceeded by 

 few varieties. It is the equal of Crescent in firmness and quality. The 

 flowers produce an abundance of pollen; it is therefore an excellent pollenizer 

 for the early pistillate sorts. 



Belle, Gen. Putnam, Hoard, Muskingum, Swindle, and Woolverton have 

 proved themselves valuable market sorts. Woolverton is especially valuable 

 as a pollenizer for the later pistillates. 



Edgar Queen and Mrs. Cleveland are vigorous and healthy in plant growth, 

 are productive, and the fruit is of fair quality. In planting for local market 

 they might profitably have a place.
