EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS 227 



Among the varieties tested were several kinds from a western originator, that, 

 had been introduced by crossing a number of well-known sorts, and the names 

 under which they were received were formed by uniiting the names of the parents. 

 Thus where the parents were the Hattie and the Warfleld, the name given the new 

 variety was Hattie Warfield and so on. Most of the plants were in poor condition 

 when "they were received and a very imperfect stand of plants was secured, while 

 those that did start made a weak growth. Nearly all of the other varieties were 

 tested at the college, and the description of the varieties has been given in Bulletin 

 163. 



Among the more productive varieties were the Acme (6),' Arkansas Traveler (3-4), 

 Aroma (4-5), Arrow (6-7), Auburn (7-8), Avery (4-5), Beauty (5-6), Bdckle (5-6), 

 Bouncer (7-8). Bubach No. 5 (5-6), Crescent (5-6), Daisy (7-8). Fountain (7-8), Giant 

 (3-4), Greenville (5-6). Haverland (8-9). Irene (7-8). Isabel (6-7), Knight (4-5), Lehigh 

 (6-7), Leroy (8 9), Lincoln (5-6), Little No. 42 (5-6), Longfield (6-7), Orange County 

 (5-6), Princeton (3-4), Shawnee (4-5), Sherman (6-7), Shyster (3-4), Smith (4-5), Stahe- 

 lin (5-6). Star (3-4), Tennessee (6-7). Wood (Beder) (3-4), Woolvertou (8-9). 



All of the above varieties have a rating for productiveness of at least 9, and 

 their quality is indicated by the numbers given in parenthesis, 10 meaning superior 

 quality. 



Of the kinds that fruited first in 1898 few of the following varieties have hereto- 

 fore been described in the bulletins, either of the station or sub-station: 



Carnot.— Bisexual plant, somewhat lacking dn vigor. Fruits large, long, conical, 

 somewhat irregular and compressed; color deep crimson. The flesh is dark crimson; 

 seeds medium, sunken; texture moderately firm; core open; quality fair. Too poor 

 in quality for a variety for home use, and its low vigor and productiveness prevent 

 its being desirable as a market variety. 



Delia.— Pistillate. A strong-growing productive variety, with large, roundish, 

 conical fruits; color deep scarlet. Flesih bright scarlet; seeds small, sunken, reddish 

 at maturity; texture moderately firm, and the flesh is of a sprightly, rich flavor. 

 Season medium. A promising variety for either home use or market. 



Faux.— Bisexual. Moderately vigorous, but lacking in productiveness. The 

 berries are of large siize, conical and slightly coiupressed; color dark crimson; flesh 

 bright scarlet; seeds medium, slightly sunken; texture firm; core slightly open; 

 flavor pleasant, rather rich. Quality good. 



Kennedy (Anna).— Plant imperfect, fairly vigorous. Fruits medium siize, oblate; 

 color bright scarlet; seeds prominent, purple at maturity; texture quite firm; flavor 

 spriglitly. pleasant; quality fair. Somewhat lacking in productiveness. Season 

 June 9. 



King Worthy.— Plants fairly vigorous, perfect. Fruit large, roundisih conical, 

 bright scarlet. Flesh light; seeds medium, purple at maturity; texture not very 

 firm; core spongy; flavor fair; quality medium; season June 11. The plants are only 

 moderately productive, and the quality and firmness are so low that the berries are 

 of little value for any purpose, 



Manwell.— IMants moderately vigorous, perfect. Fruit rather large, roundish 

 conical, drregular; color dark crimson; flesh bright scarlet; seeds very small, sunken, 

 reddish purple; texture very firm; quality fair to good; moderately productive; 

 season June 8. 



Margaret. — Plants moderately vigorous, perfect. Fruit rather large, conical, com- 

 pressed; color dark crimson; flesh dark scarlet; seeds numerous, purplish; texture 

 quite firm with an open core in some specimens; somewhat lacking in productive- 

 ness; season June 10. A handsome variety, of much merit for market or home use 

 If it proves sufficiently productive. 



McKinley. — Plants quite vigorous, perfect. Fruit rather large, varying from 

 conical to roundish conical; color quite dark crimson; flesh scarlet; seed prominent, 

 reddish at maturity; texture moderately firm; flavor pleasant, quite rich, quality 

 good; season June 13. A fairly productive variety, with some merit as a genei'al 

 purpose sort. 



Minneola.— Plants perfect flowered. Fruit medium size, oblate to roundish 

 conical; color rather light, but quite bright crimson; flesh light scarlet; seed prom- 

 inent, red at maturity; texture rather firm; flavor mild; quality fair to good. Some- 

 what lacking in productiveness. 



No Name. — Plants moderately vigorous, perfect. Fruit rather large, conical, com-
