EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS 291 



form, dark, somewhat dull crimson in color, flesh dark but rather coarse, 

 lacking juice and quality, moderately firm. Valuable for lateness in 

 ripening bulk of crop, regular size and form. Lacks quality. 



Ona, Imperfect. From Edw. W. Cone. Plants of strong, healthy 

 growth. Fruits medium to large in size, short round conical form, regular, 

 color a bright dark scarlet, seeds yellow, prominent, flesh dark, juicy, of 

 high quality and quite firm. Its handsome appearance and its high 

 quality and firmness make it worthy of trial for home or market use. In 

 productiveness, however, it is but little above medium, 



Orono. Imperfect. Plants received from John Little, Granton, Ont. 

 Plants of strong, healthy growth. Fruit large, round conical, bright dark 

 crimson color, quality good and flesh firm. Very attractive in appearance, 

 and its quality and firmness are well up, but so far the sort has not made 

 a good showing in productiveness. 



Oscar. Perfect. Plants from Thompson's Sons. Plants of low stocky 

 growth and very healthy. Fruit large, round conical form, often irregular, 

 very dark crimson color, seeds yellow, large and prominent; flesh very 

 dark, good quality and firmness with the best. It would be an excellent 

 market sort if more productive, because of attractive appearance, good 

 quality and firmness. 



Ostego. Imperfect. Received from Thompson's Sons. Plants of fair 

 growth, did not blossom very full but set well with fruit, some berries 

 imperfect. Fruit of good size, round depressed conical, regular form, 

 light scarlet color, seeds sunken, flesh light and lacking flavor. Not of 

 special merit. 



Paris King. Perfect. Plants received from W. F. Allen. Growth in 

 row scattering, individual plants fair. Few blossoms but set well with 

 fruit. Berry large, round conical, dull scarlet color, flesh light, of fair 

 quality and firmness. Its color is against it and it seems to lack produc- 

 tiveness. Further trial is necessary to form an opinion. 



Sherman. Nearly imperfect. From Edw. W. Cone. Plants of low 

 growth, foliage very dark green. Blossomed very full and set a large 

 amount of fruit. Berry large, short round conical form, dark crimson 

 color, seeds dark, thickly set, prominent, flesh rather light, of fair quality 

 and firm. Fruit does not ripen well at tip and often imperfect there. • 

 Plants have not foliage enough to develop and cover fruit properly, though 

 lack of plant growth may be largely due to poor location. A very produc- 

 tive sort. 



Smalley. Imperfect. Plants from C. W. Graham, Afton, N. T. Plants 

 are of low, stocky growth and healihy. Berry medium to large in size, 

 form regular round conical, color dark, somewhat dull crimson, flesh dark 

 juicy, acid but very firm. Banks high in productiveness, is of fair appear- 

 ance and the berry would stand shipment well. Promising as a market 

 sort. 



Splendid. Weakly perfect. Ffom Matthew Crawford, Cuyahoga Falls, 

 Ohio. Plants of low growth but strong and healthy. Berry below medium 

 size, short depressed conical form, color dull scarlet, flavor quite acid but 

 good, firm. Lacking in size of berry and attractive appearance, otherwise 

 good. Try again. 



Staples. Perfect. Received from Crawford and Cone. Plants of good 

 growth. Blossomed full but few fruits set and most of those imperfect. 

 Needs further trial.
