jN^ew Yoek Agkicultural Experiment Station. 377 



Eumelan pollinated ivitli Blade Eagle. — Two clusters tested at 

 the Station gave no fruit. The work was done on the fifth day 

 after Eumelan came into full bloom, and the treated clusters may 

 have been too far advanced in bloom to give favorable results from 

 cross-pollination. These tests should be repeated. 



HEKBEKT. 



Herbert self -pollinated. — In 1892, 2 clusters of Herbert which 

 were kept covered during the blooming season gave no fruit. 



In 1895, 5 clusters and in 1899, 9 clusters, w^hich were likewise 

 tested, gave no fruit. So far as tested, Herbert has been found 

 self -sterile. 



The following tests with Herbert in 1899 were made at Penn 

 Yan: 



Herbert pollinated with Brighton.— One cluster which was 

 tested gave no fruit. 



Herbert pollinated with Eldorado. — Four clusters which were 

 tested gave no fruit. 



Herbert pollinated with Lindley. — Five clusters which were 

 tested gave no fruit. 



Herbert pollinated with Merrimack. — Five clusters which were 

 tested gave no fruit. 



Herbert pollinated with Salem. — Four clusters which were 

 tested gave no fruit. 



Herbert pollinated with Warden. — Five clusters which were 

 tested were rated respectively 95, 95, 95, 100, 100. Average rat- 

 ing 97. 



Herbert pollinated with Niagara. — Four clusters which were 

 tested were rated respectively 95, 100, 100, 100. Average rating 

 98.8. 



Herbert pollinated with Catawba. — Two clusters which were 

 tested were rated respectively 100, 100. Average rating 100.

 three self-sterile sorts, Brighton, Eldorado and Salem. See pages 

 372, 375, 381, respectively.
