Manwaring No. 1. From C. 11. Manwaring.^ Lawrence., Kansas, 

 1S93. Fruit small to medium, g:ood black color, iirm, mild sub-acid,

 winter. 



Mohler. —i^r(?m D. M. Mohler & Co., New Paris, 0., 1893. 

 Tin's variety received favorable notice in the reports of this Station 

 for 1894 ; this season's test confirms our former good opinion. Canes 

 large and vigorous, killed back l)y the winter 25 per cent. Berries 

 large, firm, good black color; very productive. Season early, 

 ripened the majority of its crop between the dates of July 1 and 

 12 ; first fruit was picked June 29 ; last picking July 23. Seems to 

 be worthy of extended trial on account of its size, appearance and 

 productiveness. This variety is decidedly similar to Eureka but 

 our Eureka has fruited only one season and we need to compare 

 these two varieties more carefully before expressing an opinion as 

 to whether or not they are identical. 



Palmer.— i^rom C. Mills, Fairmount, N. Y., 1894, and W. D. 

 Barns & Son, Middle Hope, N. Y., 1895. Fruit medium to large, 

 compact, firm ; grains small, nearly sweet, good quality. A stand- 

 ard variety in some localities. Winter killed but 5 per cent.

 1894. Fruit medium size with small compact grains, soft, subacid,

 Not a promising variety.

 1894. Fruit medium to large with small compact grains, moderately 

 firm, mild sub-acid, good. Givxs promise of being productive.

 testing.
