variety has jnovcd itself valuahlo during tlie two seasons grown Ijerc. Well worthy 

 of trial. 



Tiinbrell. — Vines arc vigorous and of niediuni productiveness. Berries are large, 

 of good quality, but a little soft. Color is dull crimson, not desirable as a market 

 sort but \Try good for home use. 



Warfield.— Vines are strong vigorous growers and quite productive. Berries are 

 niediuni in size, of good texture, lacking a little in flavor, but the bright appearance 

 of the berries and their adaptation for canning, make it a very good market variety. 



William Belt. — Plants are good growers and productive. Berries are large and of 

 good form: quality and texture are high; color is bright red. 'Jhis variety was in a 

 poor location which must be considered in connection with the tabic. A valuable 

 variety. 



Several varieties that have stood at the head of the list for a number of years, still 

 maintain tlieir position. Excelsior, Haverland. Warfield, Clyde. Bubach and Brandy- 

 wine can be relied upon to give good crops under fairly favorable conditions, although 

 the best results cannot be secured with the last three varieties except in rich moist soils. 

 Glen Mary, Wm. Belt, Marshall and Nick Ohmer, also, are quite satisfactory under 

 high culture. 



Sample in plant and fruit compares well with any other variety. Morgan, Pon- 

 derosa, Ridgeway and Ruby have also been quite satisfactory. 



Of the newer 'sorts that' fruited in 1900, H. and H., Echo, Emma, Gamage, Glad- 

 stone. Stouffer, Johnson Early and Wooll are most promising.
