gave any fniit. In 1895, 5 clusters, and 1897, 5 clusters, which 

 were likewise tested, gave no fruit. From these tests it appears 

 that Creveling is absolutely self-sterile. 



Creveling as a fertilizer. — It was tried as a fertilizer for 

 Brighton, but no fruit was produced. See page 372. 



It is interesting to note in this connection that, although Crevel- 

 ing failed to fertilize Brighton, the parentage of Mills is given 

 as a Muscat Hamburg fertilized with Creveling. 



EATON. 



Eaton seJf -pollinated. — In 1894, 10 clusters which were kept 

 covered during the blooming season gave no fruit. From the 

 fact that the vine which was used for this test proved to be 

 neither in a vigorous nor in a productive condition these results 

 were not looked upon as conclusive. In 1899, 6 clusters on an- 

 other vine, which were likewise covered, were rated 75, 80, 90, 95, 

 100, 100, respectively, averaging 90. 



Eaton as a fertilizer. — It was tried as a fertilizer for Hercules. 

 See page 378. 



ELDORADO. 



Eldorado self-pollinated. — In 1894, 5 clusters of Eldorado 

 which were kept covered during the blooming season, gave no 

 fruit. In 1895, 10 clusters; in 1897, 23 clusters; and in 1899, 

 4 clusters likewise tested gave no fruit. 



The following tests of Eldorado were made at Penn Yan in 

 1899: 



Eldorado pollinated with Brighton. — Five clusters tested gave 

 no fruit. 



Eldorado pollinated with Herbert. — Five clusters tested gave 

 no fruit. 



Eldorado pollinated with Lindley. — Five clusters tested gave 

 no fruit. 



Eldorado pollinated with Salem. — Five clusters which were 

 tested were rated respectively 0, 0, 0, 0, 2. Average rating 0.4.
