EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS 



205 



Chautauqua. — A thrifty grower and quite productive. This season the plants were 

 loaded with berries of large size, good quality, and free from mildew. One of the 

 best on trial. 



Columbus. — A good grower and productive of berries of large size and very good 

 quality. Color yellowish green. Mildewed badly this season. 



Industry. — Rather a poor grower and only moderately productive. Quite subject to 

 mildew. Turns red when ripe, which is an objection to it for market purposes. 



Keepsake. — Heretofore one of the best, but this season the berries mildewed con- 

 siderably and were somewhat luulersized. I'sually of largest size, best quality and 

 a profitable kind. Color greenish yellow. 



Lanca?hire. — A vigorous grower and very productive. Berries large and of good 

 quality, but they have the fault of turning red when ripe. One of the best except for 

 color. 



Orange. — A remarkably strong growing variety. Berries small, yellowish, thin- 

 skinned, of best quality. Of no value for nuirket. 



Triumph. — Practically identical with Columbus, and there seems to be little need of 

 keeping these varieties distinct.

AMERICAN VARIKTIKS. 



Downing. — An old standard variety largely grown. Vigorous and usually very 

 productive. Still heads the list as a market sort, and is the best of the American 

 kinds on trial. 



Pale Red. — A good grower and quite productive, but the berries are too small. 



Pearl. — Berries closely resemble Downing, but the plants are not as strong in 

 growth a.s that variety. 



Red Jacket. A new variety not very different from Downing in appearance of 

 fruit. Seems to be fully equal to Downing in all respects except plant growth. The 

 latter is more vigorous, making a larger, stronger plant. 



Smith. — A poor, weak grower. Drops its foliage badly in midsummer. Berries 

 medium in size and greenish in color. A failure here.
