EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 157 



Manwell. — Xot so satisfactory in plant or fruit as last season. 



Mayfloivcr. — One of the most vigorous in plant growth and productive for an early 

 ripening sort. Likely to prove valuable as an early market berry. 



McKinley. — This season's showing in plant or fruit was not such as to make the 

 variety one of special prominence. 



Michigan. — The variety is not of strong plant growth, otherwise a valuable late 

 ripening sort. 



Mineola. — Again this variety has shown itself to be of little value as grown here. 



Morf/an Favorite. — Strong in plant gro\\i:h, healthy in foliage and productive. The 

 large size, good form, high quality and firmness of the berry make this a valuable 

 market sort. 



Omega. — The plants were not so strong in growth as last season, though more 

 productive. In attractive appearance and quality of the fruit the variety ranks 

 high. Seems well adapted to hill culture. 



Patrick. — Excellent in plant qualities, but the fruits are too small. 



Peabody. — Productive, and the plants are strong in growth and healthy in foliage. 

 The berries are small, poor in quality and lack firmness. 



Pet. — The plants are not productive enough. The berries are of high quality and 

 firm, but are too small. 



Pride of Cumhcrland. — The berries are large, but often hollow. Many of the last 

 fruits on the plants failed to develop. 



Ridgeicay. — Excellent in growth and among the first in productiveness. The ber- 

 ries are large, very attractive in appearance, of high quality and firm. Seems well 

 worthy of extensive planting for home use or for market. 



Satisfaction. — The fruits are very high in quality, but are usually too small to sell 

 well. The plants are but moderately productive. 



Star. — Seenis to have no points of special prominence. 



Stevenson. — Made a much better showing than last season. 



Stone. — An early ripening sort, well worthy of extensive trial. 



Unnamed. — An excellent variety to grow in hills for large fruits. 



Wetzell. — Vigorous in plant growth, but not productive enough. 



Whitney.— Made a better showing than last season, but many of the fruits are 

 imperfectly formed. 



World's Champion. — Xot of much merit in ])lant or fruit as grown here. 



The following are among the older and better known sorts that have been grown 

 for several seasons: 



Beder Wood. — The plants are often troubled with blight and the berries are rather 

 soft, and light in color. It is a popular variety for fertilizing the pistillate sorts. 



Brandyicine. — A rather late ripening sort, bearing large fruits that are of good 

 form, color and quality. One of the best large fruiting sorts to grow for home use 

 or for market. 



Bubach. — A popular large fruited sort especially adapted to strong soils. 



Clyde. — The plants are very productive and the berries large, but rather light in 

 color. On soils not easily affected by drought it is one of the best fertilizers for -the 

 pistillate sorts. 



Crescent. — Once a very popular variety, but now being superseded by lai'ger fruiting 

 sorts. 



Enhance. — A well known sort, quite largely used as a fertilizer. 



Glen Mary. — Excellent in plant growth. The fruits are large and good in form, 

 color and quality. One of the most promising sorts for market. 



Greenville. — An excellent sort for home use or near market. The fruits are hardly 

 firm enough to ship well. 



Haverland. — A very productive sort and the fruits are of good quality. One of the 

 most profitable varieties to grow, but the fruits are scarcely firm enough to stand dis- 

 tant shipments. 



Ideal. — Good in plant and the berries are of fine form, good color and high in 

 qiiality. Worthy of trial for home use and for market. 



Lrroy. — A variety not widely known. The plants are of strong growi;h and pro- 

 ductive of large-sized fruits that are of good color, high quality and firm. A good 

 market berry. 



Lovett. — In some localities largely used as a fertilizer for pistillates and as a 

 market sort, for canning purposes. 



Marshall. — One of the best large fruiting sorts to grow for market. The foliage is 

 quite likely to rust, unless grown on strong, moist soils. 



Parker Earle. — A good late market sort on strong, moist soil.
