GOOSEBEEBIES— (Bi&es.) 



Apex, having been transplanted last year, has not yet properly developed 

 its vigor. The plant is much like the European; although it is understood 

 to be a seedling of the indigenous Oregon species. 



Auburn, Bendelon, Columbus, Golden (Prolific), Keepsake, Lancashire 

 (Lad) and Orange (Early) are all either European varieties, or American 

 seedlings of European parentage, not yet sufficiently tested at this station. 

 If exempt from mildew in this climate, it will doubtless be under efficient 

 treatment with fungicides. 



Champion, Industry, Pearl and Triumph have, for a year or two, with 

 free use of fungicides, proved fairly vigorous and productive. They 

 appear to be worthy of trial; but only by those who will give them 

 efficient treatment. 



Chautauqua and Red Jacket are highly commen(3ed as vigorous and 

 productive. Both are comparatively new here. The latter is very 

 vigorous; but their productiveness is yet to be developed in this locality. 



Downing, though not of high quality, is popular as a market variety. 

 Smith would doubtless stand still higher for such purpose, but for lack of 

 vigor, 



Houghton and Pale Red are practically identical; of good quality, and 

 very hardy and productive, but too small. 



Strubler and Tree are native western seedlings, healthy and vigorous;, 

 productiveness yet to be determined; fruit small.
