THE ANNUAL MEETING. 173 



It seems Avorthy of a thorough trial as a market berry. Kipe June 14th. 

 Staminate. 



Woodruff's iVb. 1 



Is a seedling produced by C. H. Woodruff of Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1873 

 or 1873. Plant vigorous and productive ; fruit large, long conical, pointed ; 

 dark crimson, ripening the tips perfectly. A seedling of No. 2 ; ripens June 

 13th. Staminate. 



Woodrufs No. 2 



Originated also with Mr. Woodruff, from Jucunda, on Agriculturist, in 1869. 

 Fruit medium in size, truncate conical to oblong ovate, and like No. 1, ripens 

 first at the tip. Ripe June 15th. Pistillate. 



Early Adella and Seedling Eliza 



Have not so far proved promising as compared with many others of similar 

 season. The former is pistillate, and the latter staminate. Both ripen June 

 15th. 



loiua Frolific 



Is a seedling of J. A. Fowler of Waterloo, Iowa, originating in 1879. It is 

 a rather small, firm, light-colored, acid berry, but we fear it will not do for 

 the market, since it lacks both color and size. Ripe June 15tli. Pistillate. 



• Red Jacket 



Is large to very large, broadly conical, dark red or scarlet, acid. Worthy of 

 trial as a market berry. Fruit average large, firm. Ripe June 13th. Stam- 

 inate. 



Burge&s 



Was sent us in 1879 by J. D. Baldwin of Ann Arbor, Michigan, who, as we 

 understand, supposed it to have originated in Rhode Island. It ripened, this 

 season, June 10th. The fruit is medium to small, dark red, soft. Staminate. 

 Does not promise to be valuable. 



Prouty 



Seems not to have, so far, become popular. This year it has shown itself 

 vigorous and productive ; the fruit large to very large, glossy scarlet, rather 

 soft, but rich, mild, and excellent. Ripe June 14th. Staminate. 



Arnold's No. 2 



Was received from B. Hathaway of Little Prairie Roude, Michigan, without 

 history. We suppose it to be one of the seedlings of that noted experimenter. 

 Rev. Chas. Arnold of Paris, Ontario. Fruit large, pointed, conical, often cocks- 

 combed ; light dull red, rather soft, juicy, mild acid. Needs further trial. Ripe 

 June 14th. Staminate. 



President Lincoln 



Suffered badly from the winter. Still the fruit was of largo size, roundish 

 to conical, generally irregular; dark crimson or scarlet; moderately firm, mild 

 acid. If productive enough it must prove desirable for near marketing. Ripe 

 June 17th. Staminate.
