Brandywine is one of the standard old varieties, but it has 

 never been productive on our grounds. 



Cuthbert is one of the most satisfactory of the red berries for 

 home and local market. It is always productive; the berries 

 are of large size and of very good quality. 



Harris has received favorable notice in former reports of this 

 Station. The plants now in bearing have not become fully es- 

 lablished, so that thisi year's yield is below the average. 



Loudon produced its first full crop this season and ranks Mth 

 in productiveness among the red berries, many of which have 

 been longer established. The fruit is large, of bright red color 

 and will evidently stand shipping well. It was uninjured by the 

 winter. 



Naomi is of no particular value for this locality, 



Olathe ranks second in jie\d among the late berries this sea- 

 son and ninth among all the red berries. It has been satisfac- 

 tory as a late berry in former years. 



Royal Church is valuable only for home use. 



Superlative is not vet established, but it produced a small 

 amount of fruit. The berries are of the largest size, light red 

 color, juicy and moderately firm. It has the peculiar flavor of 

 the English berries, which is much esteemed by some, but it is 

 not relished by those persons who regard the Cuthbert as the 

 standard of (juality.
