fruit is somewliat transparent. Foliage liglit green, moderately vigor- 

 ous and somewhat subject to rust. Rather a shy bearer. Not very 

 promising, 



Ekey (Perfect). A very good plant-maker. Foliage thrifty and 

 stands up well. The berries are long, irregular, conical, generally 

 necked. Color, dark glossy red. Flavor mild, acid, pleasant. We had it 

 in a lighter soil this year than last and it did not bear as well. Season 

 medium early and rather short. 



Elma (Perfect). Berry large, roundish conical. Glossy red, with 

 seeds a little darker than berry. Flavor mild, sub-acid. Quality very 

 good. Later than Gandy and darker than Nettie or Midnight. Calyx 

 small. The plants are large and thrifty, making a good row. On rich 

 soil it would prove a good late variety. 



Enormous (Imperfect). From our results this year this variety is 

 wrongly named as neither the fruit, foliage nor yield was "enormous." 

 The rather small plants are only moderately vigorous. The medium- 

 sized fruit is roundish wedge-shaped, with a blunt and rather indented 

 apex. Color glossy red. Firm. Flavor rather acid. Fair in produc- 

 tiveness. 



Florella (Imperfect). Berries generally large, smooth, wedge-shaped. 

 Seeds small and somewhat numerous. Firm. Foliage thrifty, dark-green 

 and stands up well. Good plant-maker. Flavor very pleasant at first 

 but the after taste is bitter. Rather light yield. 



4 F (Perfect). Healthy, light green foliage. A good plant-maker. 

 Berry medium large, wedge-shaped, sometimes necked. Moderately firm. 

 Flavor mild sub-acid, j^leasant. Of the Uncle Jim type, but in general is 

 no improvement over it. Bore well this year. 



Good Luck (Perfect). Medium-sized fruit of a red color, irregular, 

 broad wedge-shaped, and firm in texture. Seeds somewhat numerous. 

 Quality good, the flavor being pleasant, mild and sub-acid. Plants are 

 healthy and vigorous and make a good row. Quite productive. Mid- 

 season. Promising. 



Hummer (Perfect). A large conical to wedge-shaped berry, some- 

 times necked. Color bright red, usually with a white tip and under- 

 side. Plants thrifty. Medium early. Has not proved productive enough 

 to be desirable here. 



Morning Star (Perfect). Fruit of deep, glossy red color. Rather 

 small in size and of acid flavor. Quality fairly good. A good plant- 

 maker. Foliage rather small and light in color. Only moderately pro- 

 ductive. An early variety but not likely to supersede the old early varie- 

 ties we have now. 



Nimrod (Perfect). Fruit medium large; dark glossy red in color. 

 Very irregular in shape, being mostly broad wedge-shaped. Moderately 

 firm. Foliage healthy, dark green, and large. A good plant-maker. 

 Bore quite well this year. Would be promising as a mid-season 

 berry if it were not so irregular in shape. 



Pineapple (Perfect). A variety much like the Uncle Jim. Bore very 

 well this year. Sent out by W. N. Scarff, New Carlisle, Ohio. 



Pride of Michigan^ Kellogg' s (Perfect). There are two varieties of 

 this name, the other one being introduced by O. A. D. Baldwin of 

 Bridgeman, Mich. The variety introduced by R. M. Kellogg Co., of 

 Three Rivers, Mich., looks a great deal like Uncle Jim in both plant and
