The following sorts fruited for the first time on the college grounds 

 during the past season: 



Acem. Perfect. Plants received from John Little, Granton, Ontario. 

 Plants of very strong growth, blossomed full, but few blossoms set fruit 

 and the berries were very small and imperfectly formed. The quality is 

 good but the berry is soft. Needs further trial. 



Apache, Perfect. Plants from Stayman & Black, Leavenworth, Kan. 

 Blossomed very full but little fruit set. The fruit is long conical in form, 

 color light scarlet, seeds prominent, flesh light and very poor in quality. 

 Fruits develop imperfectly. Worthless from this season's trial. 



Brooke Seedling. Imperfect. Plants from F. W. Brooke, Ithaca, Mich. 

 The plants are growing in a poor location, hence vigor of growth and pro- 

 ductiveness cannot properly be determined. Set well with fruit for plant 

 growth. The fruit is large, broad, depressed conical in form, dark crimson 

 color, seeds yellow, flesh very dark and of high quality, moderately firm. 

 Size of berry holds out well to close of season. The handsome appearance 

 and high quality of the fruit and the promise shown in growth and pro- 

 ductiveness speak well for the future of this sort. 



Bryant. Perfect. Plants from Birdseye & Son, Hopewell, N. Y. Plants 

 of strong growth, healthy. Blossomed full and set well with fruit. Berry 

 of large size, short, depressed conical, somewhat irregular in form, very 

 dark crimson color, flesh dark and of fair quality, though somewhat acid, 

 very firm. A very promising market sort. 



Carrie. Imperfect. Plants from Thompson's Sons, Rio Vista, Va. 

 Plants did not show up well last fall but the spring growth was good. 

 Fruit medium to large in size, long conical form, dark crimson color, 

 quality fair and moderately firm. Last fruits often imperfect. In poor 

 location and but few plaats. Must try again to judge properly. 



Columbian. Perfect. Plants from Slay maker & Son, Dover, Del. 

 Plants of low, stocky, vigorous growth. Few blossoms came out but most 

 of them set fruit. Berry large, round short conical form, light scarlet
