282 EXPERIMENT STATION— BULLETINS. 



11. Eiformige Bauer, Neu. Fruits small, seldom reaching a diam- 



eter of 2 inches, even in size and shape. Angles well marked. 

 Quite firm and a long keeping variety. In color about like 

 Orangefield. 



12. Hundred Days, Thor. {Hundert Tagige, Neu. Stamfordian, 



Dick.) Plants rather small. Fruits measure 2 by 2£ inches, 

 flattened, deeply ribbed, often curved and with a ring at the 

 end. Foliage much curled. 



13. Large Red, Dick. {Early Richmond, Landreth. Cedar Hill, 



Neu. Franz gross rothe, Neu.) Fruits and plants larger than 

 the last, but identical in other respects. Dark red, marked 

 slightly with yellow dots. Fruits measure 2£ by 4 inches and 

 1£ deep. 



14. Precursor, Nellis. {Conqueror. Hend. Neu. Bermuda Extra 



Early, Land. King of the Earlies, Ely.) Much more regular 

 and less angular than Large Red. Fruits 3 by 3£ inches, 

 being nearer round than those of the Large Eed type. The 

 different strains of Conqueror vary in size and color. Ely's 

 King of the Earlies is apparently a well selected Precursor, 

 fruits even in size, thickly clustered. Although not as early 

 as its introducer claims, its fruits are abundant, of good size 

 and fairly smooth. 



15. Extra Early or Cluster, Land. {Jackson, Dick. Rouge Grosse, 



Vil.) (Fig. 11, Plate III.) The best of the angular varieties, 

 large, even in size and shape, generally 3 or 4 inches in 

 diameter and quite deep. Sometimes distinctly angled, but 

 many of the fruits are nearly as regular as Cardinal. 



16. Turk's Cap. {Turkenbu?id,~Neu.) Plants with slender branches. 



Fruits small, round, deeply ribbed, with a crown of irregular 

 cells upon the center of the apex. Worthless. 

 The fruits in the next four groups have their leaves much more 

 curled than the above kinds. 



17. Early Dwarf Red, Dick. {Rouge naine hative, Vil. Frilhe rothe 



zwerg, Neu. Hubbard's Curled Leaf, Nellis. Kransblatter, 

 Neu. Rouge gross hative, Vil.) (Fig. 12) Fruits flat- 

 tened, smaller than Large Red, 2£ to 3 inches long by 1 inch 

 deep. All quite variable in form. 



18. Tom TJiumb, Rawson. Plants small. Leaves much curled. 



Fruits much like those of Hundred Days and Early Dwarf 

 Red, but are smaller and more irregular. 



19. Keye's Early Prolific, Neu. Fruit larger and smoother than 



Tom Thumb. Leaves quite large and much curled. 



20. Gestreifte, (Striped.) Neu. Similar to Early Dwarf red except 



that the red fruits are striped and splashed with orange. 

 Group 2. The apple- shaped sorts : 

 * Fruit yellow or yellowish white. 



21. Green Gage, Hend. Neu. Dick. Fruit small, seldom exceed- 



ing 1| inches in diameter, deep yellow, nearly spherical from 

 Henderson, while from Dickson and Neuman, as last year, it 

 gave fruits much larger in size, some of them reaching two 

 inches in diameter.
