attractive appearance and quality of fruit tlie variety ranlis high. It was but 

 moderately productive the past season. 



Patrick.— Received from Edw. W. Cone. Perfect flower. Plants of medium 

 growth. Fruit small in size, long or broad conical form, light scarlet color. The 

 plants were productive, but the berries were too small. 



Peabody. — Plants from J. Little. Perfect flower. The plants are of excellent 

 growth and healthy in foliage. Fruit of medium size, round or broad conical in 

 form and bright light scarlet color. Too many of the berries ai"e small, the color 

 is not attractive, the quality is poor and the fruit lacks firmness. 



Pet. — Plants received from E. J. Hull. Perfect flower. Plants are not of strong 

 growth and made few runners. Fruit medium to large in size, broad conical form 

 anu a briglit dark crimson color. The flesh is bright, of good quality and fii-m. A 

 good variety, but seems to have no qualities of special merit. 



Pride of Cumberland.— From Slaymaker & Son. Perfect flower. Plants of fair 

 growth. Fruit of medium size, round conical form witli slight neck, color a bright 

 scarlet. The beriies are often hollow and the flesh is mealy and lacking in 

 firmness. 



Quality. — Received from M. Crawford. Perfect flower. The berries are as at- 

 tractive in appearance as any grown in the plot; are large in size and of the highest 

 quality. The plants made but little growth and the productiveness of the variety 

 could not be determined. 



Ridgeway.— Plants from M. H. Ridgeway, Wabash, Ind. Perfect flower. Plants 

 of excellent growth and a good foliage. Fruit large, short, round conical in form 

 and a bright crimson color. The plants are productive and the fruits very even in 

 form, attractive in appearance, of good quality and firm enough to stand shipment 

 well. A variety of much promise. 



Satisfaction.— From Slaymaker & Son. Perfect flower. Plants of fair growth. 

 Berry small to medium in size, round, rather long conical in form, and dark, bright 

 crimson color. The fruits are handsome in appearance and have a high, aromatic 

 flavor. An excellent dessert fruit, but the berries are too small for a market variety. 



Seaford.— Received from L. J. Farmer. Imperfect flower. The plants of this 

 variety were received late in the season and but a small growth was made. The 

 berries are very large, long, broad conical in form, color a dark, rich crimson. 

 The quality is very high and the berry is quite firm. Further trial is necessary 

 to judge growth and productiveness, t'^nder the unfavorable circumstances the 

 showing was excellent. A variety of much promise. 



Shyster. — Plants from Thompson's Sons. Imperfect flower. Plants of very 

 strong growth and quite productive. Fruit large in size, broad conical somewhat 

 ribbed in form, light scarlet color, quite attractive; fresh bright, juicy, but sour, 

 moderately flrm. The foliage blighted quite badly and the fruits did not ripen well 

 at the tip. 



Star.— Plants from E. W. Reid, Bridgeport, Obio. Perfect flower. The plants 

 are of good growth and have he'althy foliage. Fruit large,^ broad conical in form, 

 color light bright scarlet; flesh bright, somewhat mealy, but of good quality. The 

 plants were not as productive as could be expected from the good growth and the 

 berries are scarcely firm enough to stand shipment well. 



Stevenson.— Received from Edward Stevenson, Stevensville, Mich. Imperfect 

 flower. The plants did not make a good growth and many were attacked by blight. 

 Fruit small, short, round conical in form and dark crimson in color; flesh bright and 

 of high quality. The berries are too small and the plants lack vigor and productive- 

 ness. 



Stone.— From J. Little. Imperfect flower. Plants of very strong growth and 

 foliage healthy. Fruit medium to large in size; long conical form, color bright 

 scarlet. The flesh is bright, juicy and of fair quality, but moderately firm. It is 

 early in season and the fruits are large for a variety ripening at the period it does. 

 It holds out well in length of season though the last fruits are not large. Well 

 worthy of trial as an early ripening variety. 



Unnamed.— Received from J. Little. Perfect flower. The plants are of vigorous 

 growth and have a healthy foliage. Fruits very large in size, of broad, long 

 conical form, usually ribbed, color a bright scarlet. The flesh is dark, not juicy, 

 but of high flavor, firm. The fruit-stem is large and stout, quite supporting the 

 fruit from the ground. Very promising because of the vigor and productiveness of 

 the plant, and the large size and good quality of the fruits. 



Wetzel.— From J. Little. Perfect flower. Plants of good growth. Fruits medium 

 to large in size, form short, round conical, color light scarlet. The berries are too
