EXPERIxMENT STATION BULLETINS 173 



King Worthy.— Plants from Edw. W. Cone, Menominee. Wis. Perfect flower. 

 Plants are of quite strong individual growtli. but make few runners. The fruit 

 is large, round sharp conical in form and of light, dull scarlet color. The flesh is 

 light, of fair quality but quite soft. The color of the berry and its lack of firm- 

 ness are against it as a market sort. 



Knight.— Perfect flower. Plants of very strong, healthy growth. Fruir large, 

 round or broad conical in form, bright scarlet color, seeds yellow and prominent. 

 The flesh is bright, of high quality and Arm. Productive. .Judging from this sea- 

 son's trial, the variety is worthy a place among the best sorts. 



Little No. 7.— From .L Little. Granton, Out. Perfect flower. Plants of very 

 strong, healthy growth. Berries of medittm size, usually round, sharp pointed 

 conical in form, color a dull scarlet: flesh bright, good quality and quite firm. The 

 berries average too small in size to be valuable for market and their color is not 

 attractive. 



Little No. 8.— Plants from J. Little. Perfect flower. Plants of good growth. 

 Berries of medium size, broad conical in form, and bright crimson in color. The 

 fruits are attractive in appearance, of high quality and quite firm, but too few 

 are borne to make the variety valuable as a market sort. 



Little No. 40.— Plants fronj J. Little. Imperfect flower. The plants are of 

 excellent growth and the foliage is healthy. The fruits are very large in size, broad, 

 conical, very regular and even in form; the flesh is usually light in color, of good 

 quality and firm. The productiveness of the variety together with the large size 

 of the berry, its attractive appearance, good quality and firmness of flesh make it 

 a very promising market sort. The fruits, however, do not color evenly. 



Manwell.— Received from Edw. W. Cone. Perfect flower. Plants of fair growth 

 but are not so good plant makers as would be desirable. The fruits are very 

 large, broad conical, usually ribbed, and dark crimson in color: the flesh is dark, 

 juicy and rich. The plants are productive and the fruit has the qualities necessary 

 to make the variety a very promising market sort. 



Maumee.— Plants from Stayman & Black, Leavenworth. Kan. Plants of very 

 strong growth and productive. Berries large, round or flattened conical in form 

 and bright scarlet color. Promising in plant growth and productiveness, but the 

 fruit lacks quality and flrmness. 



Mayflower. — Plants received from W. C. Babcock. Bridgman. ^lich. Perfect 

 flower. The plants are of very strong and healthy growth. The berries are of a 

 medium size, long round conical form and of a bright scarlet color. The flesh is 

 bright, juicy and of fair quality and moderate firmness. This variety was as early 

 as any to ripen and the fruits color evenly and are attractive in appearance. 

 Promising as an early sort. 



McKiniey.— From Ellwanger tt Barry, Rochester. N. Y. Perfect flower. The 

 plants did not get a good start and the growth was not satisfactory. P^ruits of 

 medium size, rather long pointed conical in form^, often with slight neck: color 

 dark crimson; flesh dark, bright and of good quality. The beiTies are much like 

 Warfield in size and shape, but the color is not so dark or bright, and the quality 

 is better. The plants were fairly productive, but further trial is necessary before 

 judging jilaut growth and productiveness. 



Michigan.— Received from J. T. Lovett Co., Little Silver, N. J. Perfect flower. 

 Plants of medium growth. Berries large, round or broad conical in form and 

 bright crimson color. The flesh is dark, of a good quality and very firm. This 

 was the latest variety, by several days, to ripen fruits. In size, color, quality and 

 firmness of fruit, the variety ranks high. If on further trial the plants show more 

 vigorous growth it will be a most valuable late variety. 



Mineola.— Plants from Slaymaker & Son. Perfect flower. The plants are of low, 

 small growth. Berries of medium size, sho-rt round conical form; flesh light, in 

 color, soft and rather poor in quality. Very few fruits borne. The variety was of 

 little value as grown here this year. 



Morgan Favorite.— Plants from W. F. Allen. Jr., Salisbury, Md. Perfect flower. 

 Plants of sti'ong growth and the best foliage in the plot. Fruit very large in size, 

 round sharp pointed conical form and bright dark crimson color; flesh bright, juicy, 

 of high quality and firm. The variety was productive and but very few small 

 berries were borne. The plant and fruiting qualities of this variety are such as 

 to make it well worthy of trial for home use or for market. 



Omega.— From Thompson's Sons. Imperfect flower. The plants are of fair 

 growth. Fruit large in size, short round conical form, very dark crimson color, 

 seeds yellow and prominent. The flesh is bright, juicy and of good quality. In
