EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS 



311 



More or less mildew has appeared upon several varieties of gooseberries 

 of European parentage, due, probably to too long periods between spray- 

 ings, which were, in several cases, deferred on account of the prevalence 

 of rain or high winds. 



The twig borer, ^geria tipuliformis, has apparently been less preva- 

 lent than heretofore, although the extent of its depredations may become 

 more fully manifest during next spring's pruning. 



Aside from those mentioned, no other insects have proved troublesome. 



The weights of single berries are given instead of size, and it will be 

 observed that, in all cases, the denominator of the fraction expresses the 

 number of berries in an ounce. 



Productiveness and quality are expressed upon the scale of one to ten, 

 ten being in all cases the maximum, and each variety is compared with 

 others of the same species.

NOTES ON VARIETIES. 



Champion, Lee, Saunders and Wales are comparatively recent varieties 

 of the European black currant, and the (Black) nglish is a much older 

 one of that species. So far, none of these, here, have eq Jed the Naples, 

 in either vigor or productiveness; neither have they excelled it in size of 

 fruit. 



Cherry, Fay, Wilder and Lakewood are quite similar in foliage and size 

 of fruit. In productiveness they range about in the order named. 



Crandall, a variety of the yellow flowering currant, betrays, in the diverse 

 habit and productiveness of the plants, the probability, not to say certainty,
