MICHIGAN EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS 317 



Jerry Rusk. — From Ran Benoy, Matthews, Ind. Perfect flower. Plants 

 of low, rather slender growth with considerable blight showing on foliage. 

 Berries are of medium size, bright dark scarlet color, round or flattened 

 conical in form, often quite irregular. The fruits are of high quality and 

 firm. Too many fruits set for the strength of plant and many were very 

 small and imperfect. If more vigorous and healthy in plant, it would be a 

 valuable sort. 



Karl.—¥vom Fred Stahelin, Bridgman, Mich. Perfect flower. Plants 

 of very vigorous growth, as strong as any in the plot. The variety blos- 

 somed very full but many trusses failed to set a single fruit. The few 

 berries borne were small, imperfect, lacking in quality and soft. Further 

 trial is necessary. 



Lannh. — From Ohio Experiment Station. Perfect flower. Plants are 

 of vigorous growth and the foliage is healthy. The plants blossomed full 

 but set few fruits and those are mostly small and imperfect. The berries 

 ripen evenly and are firm. Further trial is necessary. 



MarguerHe. — From J. C. Grossman, Wolcottville, Ind. Perfect flower. 

 Plants are of moderate growth, rather stocky, foliage is dark green and 

 very healthy. The plants were set late and in rather a poor location. A 

 few berries are large in size, flattened irregular form and a bright scarlet 

 color. The flesh is bright, of high quality though rather soft. Under 

 more favorable conditions the variety might prove valuable for home use. 



Margaret. — From M. Crawford. Seems to be identical with above. 



Marsion. — From New York Experiment Station. Imperfect flower. 

 Plants are of vigorous growth though the foliage is showing some blight. 

 Berries are of medium size, round depressed conical in form, color a light 

 red. The flesh is light in color, juicy and quite acid in quality, moderately 

 firm. Much like Crescent in plant and fruit. 



Nan. — From New York Experiment Station. Perfect flower. Plants 

 of low, stocky growth and foliage healthy. But few fruits grew well, most 

 of them being small and imperfect. A few berries were of large size, 

 round or flattened conical form and a bright crimson color. The quality 

 is good and the fruits flrm. The variety lacks the plant qualities to set 

 and develop a crop of fruit. 



No. 1000. — From M. Crawford. Imperfect flower. The plants are of 

 good growth and healthy, though set late and in a poor location. The 

 truss is reclining and the fruits lie on the ground. Berries large, round 

 conical, bright dark crimson color, very handsome in appearance, and the 

 flesh is dark, juicy, firm and rich in flavor. Excellent in plant and fruit 

 and, if more productive under favorable conditions, it will be a valuable 

 sort for home use or market. 



No. 15, W. — From Edw. W. Cone. Perfect flower. Plants are of low 

 stocky growth, quite strong and healthy and much better in hills than in 

 the matted row. Berries medium to large in size, short, round conical 

 form; color a light scarlet. The flesh is light in color; lacks juice and 

 quality and becomes quite soft when ripe. Nothing to give the variety 

 special prominence. 



Phippen. — From J. Little. Perfect flower. Plants of strong growth. 

 Foliage is a light yellowish green, with leaflets long and narrow, and 

 inclined to roll and turn yellow on edges. Plants in matted row are much 

 better than those in hills. The truss is long and reclining and the fruits 

 are borne on the ground. Berries are of medium size, long conical form;
