Black Eagle as a fertilizer. — The records of the test of Black. 

 Eagle pollen upon Barry are given under the latter variety. 



BRIGHTON. 



Brighton self-pollinated. — In 1892, 9 clusters of Brighton 

 which were kept covered during the blooming season gave no 

 fruit; 5 clusters at the Station in 1895, 27 clusters at the Station 

 in 1897 and 9 clusters at Penn Yan in 1899 likewise covered 

 gave no fruit. In another vineyard, of 25 clusters covered in 1897 

 24 clusters were rated 0, 1 cluster'rated 10. Ave^-age rating 0.4. 

 In still another locality 5 clusters likewise tested in 1897 were 

 rated respectively 0, 0, 10, 10, 10. Average rating G. At High- 

 lands in 1899, of 28 clusters which were tested, 26 clusters were 

 rated 0, 1 cluster rated 1 and 2 clusters rated 4. xVverage rating 

 0.2. At Penn Yan 5 clusters were hand-pollinated^ with Brighton 

 pollen from another vine. Four of these rated and 1 rated 4. 

 Average rating 0.8. At Highlands 10 clusters were likewise pol- 

 linated with Brighton pollen from a Station vineyard. Six of 

 these were rated 0, 3 rated 2 and 1 rated 15. Average rating 2.1. 

 From tlTose tests it appears that Brighton clusters when 3elf-p(jl- 

 linated rarely set any fruit and the variety may be called prac- 

 tically self-sterile. 



Brighton pollinated with Creveling. — Seven clusters tested at 

 Highlands gave no fruit. 



Brighton pollinated with Salem. — Four clusters tested at 

 Penn Yan gave no fruit. 



Brighton pollinated with Aminia. — Six of the seven clusters 

 tested at Highlands were rated and 1 rated 2. Average rat- 

 ing 0.3. 



Brighton pollinated with Wyoming. — Six clusters were tested 

 at Highlands; 5 clusters gave a rating of and 1 gave a rating 2. 

 Average rating 0.3.
