EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 277 



Brief notices are appended of such varieties only as have yielded not 

 less than one hundred and lifty ounces of fruit from a row of thirteen 

 plants, either in hills or in a matted row. 



American (Great American), bisexual; originated in New Jersey. It 

 was exhibited, by the originator, at the Centennial Exposition, where it 

 received the highest commendation. It originated under high cultivation 

 and has only proved satisfactory when grown under similar conditions. 



Atlantic, bisexual, is a comparatively old variety which, though fairly 

 productive and generally acceptable, has not gained a high standing, so far 

 as profitableness is concerned. 



Augwick, pistillate, is but recently introduced. The plant is vigorous 

 and productive, and the berry large, firm, and of medium quality. It has 

 only fruited here this season. 



Banquet, pistillate, is new, having only fruited here this season. The 

 plant is vigorous and fairly productive, and the fruit of medium size and 

 quality. 



Beder Wood, bisexual, has now fruited here three years, and, both here 

 and elsewhere, has won high reputation for vigor and productiveness. In 

 form, color, firmness, and quality, it promises well as a market berry. 

 Origin, Illinois. 



Centennial (Ohio Centennial) bisexual, is a seedling from southwestern 

 Ohio, and was so named from having first fruited during Ohio's centen- 

 nial year. It is vigorous and fairly productive, and the fruit quite large, 

 and of much more than average quality. It promises value for market 

 purposes. 



Crescent, pistillate, has been too long and favorably known to require a 

 lengthy notice. Too soft for distant marketing, its hardiness, vigor, and 

 great productiveness render it desirable for near markets, though it is, to 

 a considerable extent, confined to a low grade of cultivation. 



Edgar (Edgar Queen), pistillate, is a fairly vigorous and productive 

 plant; named for Edgar county, 111., its place of origin. It is compara- 

 tively new, and has not yet a well established reputation. The fruit is 

 large, of good form, attractive color; of high quality for so large a fruit. 



Fairmount, bisexual, originated in New Jersey; was received for trial 

 from the National Division of Pomology, during the hot, dry summer of 



1890. We have been unable to fruit it satisfactorily till this season. The 

 plant is of fully average vigor, and, so far, is fairly productive. Size, 

 above medium; quality, medium. 



Haverland, pistillate, introduced several years since, as larger and of 

 higher quality than Crescent, as well as its rival in productiveness, has 

 scarcely verified this latter claim and, either for that reason or for the less 

 satisfactory character of the plant, the variety has not acquired the antici- 

 pated popularity with commercial planters. 



Holyoke (Mount Holyoke), bisexual, although received as early as 



1891, has not been in condition to satisfactorily manifest its qualities till 

 the present season. So far, the plant seems to possess more than aver- 

 age vigor and productiveness. The fruit also ranks high, so far as both 

 size and quality are concerned. 



Hugo (Victor Hugo), bisexual, originated in New Jersey, but was 

 received for trial from the Division of Pomology. The plant is very vig- 

 orous, and of more than medium productiveness. The fruit is large to 

 very large, and of satisfactory form, color, and quality. So far it seems to 

 be well worthy of trial as a market variety.
