282 Report of the Horticulturist of the 



Robinson, Omega, Mary and Clarence have been mentioned 

 under varieties that fruited in one-year-old beds. Bissel stood 

 first in productiveness among varieties that fruited in one-year- 

 old beds in 1896. This season it takes fifth place in productive- 

 ness among varieties that were fruited in two-year-beds. The 

 fruit is medium size, good color and moderately firm. 



Slaymaker No. 9, from Slaymaker & Son, Dover, Del., bears 

 fruit large in size but rather light in color and low in quality. 

 It is no improvement over known sorts. 



William Belt received favorable mention last season. This 

 season it takes a low rank because of the severe winter injury 

 that the plants sustained.
