EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 141 



Green. — Vigorous and productive; ripens early; berries small and 

 seedy this season. 



Hilborn. — Vigorous and very productive; fruit of medium size; a re- 

 liable market sort. 



Idaho. — One of the best late-ripening sorts; fruit of the largest size 

 and good quality; has proved to be a reliable variety at the station 

 grounds, and can be safely recommended for home or market. 



Kansas. — The best mid-season variety on trial this season; plants 

 are strong, vigorous growers; fruit of large size and attractive in 

 appearance. A valuable market sort. 



Livingston. — One of the newer varieties that is proving itself worthy 

 of a place in the commercial plantation. One of the best late-ripening 

 sorts; bore a full crop of berries of large size. 



Mills. — One of the best mid-season varieties; fruit was of large size 

 and attractive appearance, but this variety has the reputation of not 

 standing drouth well. 



Smith (Prolific). — Considered a valuable mid-season sort; fruit of large 

 size; quality good; plants only moderately vigorous. 



RED VARIETIES. 



Cuthbert. — An old, well-known market variety that still holds first 

 place in vigor and productiveness; needs no recommendation. 



Early King. — The first variety to ripen this season; fruit of good size 

 and quality; plants only moderately vigorous. Valuable as an early 

 sort. 



Golden Queen. — Plants vigorous and usually productive; resembles 

 Cuthbert in form and flavor; excellent for home use, but does not take 

 well on the market. 



Hansen. — An early ripening sort, but lacking in vigor and productive- 

 ness. 



Marlboro. — This variety made the finest showing in the station col- 

 lection this season. The fruit was of the largest size; ripened over a 

 long season, and held its size well to the end of the season. Somewhat 

 lacking in hardiness, but a valuable sort in some localities. 



Miller. — Lacks vigor and productiveness here, but is a valuable market 

 variety in some places. 



Phoenix. — A moderately vigorous grower, which made a good showing 

 this season. The fruit was of large sizf, attractive appearance and 

 ripened over a long season. 



Turner. — A vigorous grower, moderately productive of fruit of fair 

 size and very good quality. Very hardy. 



PURPLE CAPS. 



While we have a large number of varieties of this class of fruit on 

 the station grounds, and nearly all are fairly productive, only a few are 

 worthy of mention, of which Columbian and Shaffer hold first place in 

 hardiness, vigor and productiveness. Emmet and Redfield are good vari- 

 eties, but do not equal the latter varieties. Columbian and Shaffer are 

 valuable for home use and in markets where thev are known.
