]16 EXPERIMENTAL FARMS. 



64 VICTORIA, A. 1901 



Afton, P. — Fruit above medium size, round-conical, regular, firm, deep glossy 

 red, acid. Quality medium. Season medimn. Plant a strong grower. This proved 

 a heavy cropper this year. The fruit is attractive looking, resembling Warfield very 

 much. 



Beder Wood, B. — Fruit medium size, round-conical, regular, rather soft, pale red, 

 acid. Quality medium. Season early. Plant a strong grower. Although this 

 variety does not appear among the twenty-five yielding best this year, it has yielded 

 well here in the past and has given good satisfaction elsewhere. It is specially useful 

 as a pollinator of other early sorts. 



Bubach, P. — Fruit large to very large, wedge-conical, irregular, bright red, mod- 

 erately firm, sub-acid. Quality good. Season medium. Plant healthy, but does not 

 set many runners. It is a favourite amateur berry, and is well adapted for the hill 

 system. It is not productive enough to be grown extensively for commercial purposes 

 except on very rich ground. 



Brandywine, B. — Fruit above medium to large, roundish or sugarloaf in shape, 

 firm, deep red, brisk sub-acid, good flavour. Quality very good. Season late. Plant 

 a strong grower. This is rather an uncertain berry, but when the season is favourable 

 it does well, and on account of its lateness and fine flavour shoxild be planted in the 

 home garden. 



Buster, P. — Fruit large, roundish, regular, bright, but inclined to be pale red, 

 moderately firm, juicy, sub-acid. Quality above medium. Season medium to late. 

 Plant a strong grower. This is a very productive variety of good size and attractive 

 appearance, and it maintains its size well to the end of the picking season. It is one 

 of the most promising varieties of those grown at Ottawa. 



Carleton, P. — Fruit above medium size, roundish, regular, moderately firm, pale 

 red, juicy, sub-acid, pleasant flavour. Quality good. Season late. Plant a strong 

 grower. This is a productive seedling originated by Dr. W. Saunders, and on account 

 of its late season should prove valuable. 



Clyde, B. — Fruit large to very large, roundish, moderately firm, rather pale red, 

 juicy, sub-acid, pleasant flavour. Quality good. Season medium. Plant healthy, 

 but does not set runners freely. Has a small amount of foliage for the quantity of 

 fruit. This is a very productive berry when given good culture on rich soil. Its 

 popularity has increased more rapidly than any other variety during the past few 

 years. It is rather light coloured for some markets, and not firm enough for others. 

 Although this variety did not yield well enough this year to appear among the 

 twenty-five most productive, in 1898 it yielded third best of 290 varieties. 



Daisy, P. — Fruit above medium size, round-conical, rather soft, bright glossy red, 

 juicy, acid. Quality medium. Plant a strong grower. Season medium. A very 

 attractive looking berry, and the most productive this year. For a near market, where 

 large berries of fine quality are not demanded, this should prove one of the most 

 profitable sorts to grow. 



Glen Mary, B. — Fruit very lar<ie, roundish to wedge-conical, irregular, moder- 

 ately firm, bright red, juicy, sub-acid. Quality medium. Season medium. Plant a 

 strong grower. This is one of the few large fruiting varieties which combine great 

 productiveness with size of fruit, and is, therefore, a good kind for a commercial plan- 

 tatidn. 



Greenville, P. — Fruit large to very large, roundish or wedge-shaped, moderately 

 firm, bright red, sub-acid, pleasant flavour. Quality good. Season medium. Plant
