conical, often irregular in form. The flesh is bright, juicy, of high quality and firm. 

 The high quality of the fruit seems to be the onl}' jjoiut of special merit. 



llcnnj. — Plants from Anu'rican Cardening Co., New 'i'ork City. Perfect flower. 

 Quite unproductive and in no way satisfactor}'. The variety as grown here was weak 

 in growth, and did not as closely resemble Marshall as is claimed by many persons. 



Hiinn. — Plarts received from Wm. D. Barns and from Birdseye & Son, Middle Hope, 

 N. Y. Imperfect flower. Plants are of fair growth and the foliage is dark green and 

 healthy. Berries large in size, pointed, round conical in form and dull, dark scarlet in 

 color: flesh bright red, and of good quality and firm. Many fruits failed to develop and 

 the plants blighted quite badly at the close of season. 



Ima. — From LeRoy N. Brown & Sons. Imperfect flower. Plants of weak, scattering 

 growth, with very few runners. Berries small, round conical, often imperfect in form, 

 firm. Plants blighted at close of season. Nothing in plant or fruit to specially 

 recommend the variety. 



Ladi/ Franklin. — Plants from Harry G. Wolfgang, Salem, Ohio. The plants are of 

 strongest growth, foliage very large, thin and papery in texture, and healthy. Berry 

 large, quite long or broad conical in form, and dark crimson in color. The flesh is 

 bright, juicy, of high quality, but soft. The variety is one of the best in plant quali- 

 ties, and the fruit is attractive, of good form and best quality, but too soft for ship- 

 ment. The plants are but moderately productive. A good home berry. 



Lehigh. — Received from W. F. Allen, Jr. Imperfect flower. Plants are scattering. 

 Berries small to medium size, bright, dark scarlet color. Xot promising in plant or 

 fruit. 



.Ma goon. — Plants from ^Matthew Crawford, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Plants of weak 

 growth and made no runners: foliage small and appears unhealthy. A few imperfectly 

 formed fruits, dark in color and of high quality, borne. Of little value from this sea- 

 son's showing. 



Margaret. — From Matthew Crawford. Perfect flower. Plants are of good growth, 

 though not strong runner makers. Berries are very large, broad conical form and of a 

 dark crimson color. The plants are productive, the fruits among the largest in size, 

 attractive in appearance, the quality is good and they are firm enough to stand ship- 

 ment well. A valuable variety. 



Marguerite. — Plants from J. C. Grossman, Wolcottville, Ind. Imperfect flower. 

 The plants did not make a good growth and but few fruits were formed. Further trial 

 is necessary before reporting. 



Maxitnus. — Received from J. H. Hale, South Glastonbury, Conn. Perfect flower. 

 The plants are not of strong growth and the foliage has an unhealthy appearance. 

 Berries medium in size, long conical form and of dark crimson color. The fruits are 

 attractive in color and of high quality. Lacking in plant vigor and productiveness. 

 Mele. — From Matthew Crawford. — Imperfect flower. Plants of good growth and 

 healthy in foliage. Berries large, round conical, regular form; bright, dark crimson 

 color : very attractive in appearance. The flesh is bright, juicy, of good quality and 

 firm. Excellent in berry, and if more productive would be a valuable variety. 



Milton. — Received from Matthew Crawford. Perfect flower. Plants are of small 

 growth. Berries of medium size, long, broad conical form and dark crimson color. 

 The berries are too long for good form and the color is rather dull; the quality is 

 high but the plants are scarcely productive enough to make the variety a valuable one. 

 Nick Ohmer. — Plants received from Matthew Crawford. Perfect flower. Plants are 

 of good appearance, though not of strongest growth. Berries large, ovate conical in 

 form ant! a bright crimson color. The flesh is bright, of good quality and firm. The 

 large size, fine appearance, high quality and firmness of the fruit promise much for this 

 variety. The plants were in a poor location and were not as productive as may be 

 hoped for under better conditions. 



Nina. — From Jos. H. Black & Sons, Hightstown, X. J. Perfect flower. The plants 

 are of good growth and excellent in foliage. Berries medium to large in size, round 

 conical form and a bright scarlet color. The flesh is dark, of good quality and moder- 

 ately firm. The variety is good in plant qualities and moderately productive. 



Oreiciler. — From Henry Orewiler, Shelby, Ohio. Perfect flower. Plaat of strong 

 growth, though the foliage has an unhealthy appearance. Berries large; form, ovate 

 conical, usually with neck; color, an attractive crimson. The fruit is of high quality, 

 but the plants are scarcely productive enough.

 careful comparison of this variety with Parker Earle growing by the side failed to 

 note anv difference in plant or fruit.

 the foliage is healthy. Berries are of medium size, long or broad conical form and dark
