In the following diagram, we have endeavored to show at a glance the 

 relative productiveness of the varieties in the above table, selecting only 

 those with a yield in excess of ten quarts from the forty feet of row. 



Table No. 4.-YIELD OF FIFTEEN SELECTED SORTS. 



NOTES UPON VARIETIES. 



We append brief notes upon the vigor, productiveness, quality, and firm- 

 ness of some of the more promising of the varieties of comparatively recent 

 introduction, and refer the reader to the preceding tables for further 

 information regarding the size, shape, and color, of their fruit and their date 

 of ripening, etc. 



Banquet still deserves a place as a home berry. It is handsome in 

 appearance and of high quality, but is not productive enough for market 

 purposes. 



Beder Wood — In last year's report this variety, although quite vigorous 

 and productive, was placed in the doubtful class from its low quality and 

 lack of firmness. It is, however, the equal of Crescent in these respects, 

 and except that it is likely to be injured by the leaf blight it would 

 probably surpass that sort in vigor of plant and productiveness. Since it 

 can be kept free from this disease, at a slight cost, by the use of fungicides^ 

 there is a promising future before it.
