New York Agricultural Experiment Station. 373 



Middlefield, P. A well-known variety, one of the best for 



home use. A vigorous grower, producing many runners. Ber- 

 ries large, brilliantly colored, handsome; has been moderately 

 productive on our grounds. 



Phillips Seedling, S. — From W. H. Phillips, Staunton, Ind. 

 Plants vigorous, producing large berries, firm and of good qual- 

 ity, moderately productive. Not as good as well-known sorts. 



Princeton Chief, P. From F. W. Poscharsky ami Son, Prince- 

 ton, III. The report of this Station for 1893 contains the follow- 

 ing account of this berry: " Blosoms about with Manchester. 

 Foliage good; runners abundant; stems long; fruit mid-season 

 to late, medium size, moderately firm, good quality and of good 

 color, although rather dark when fully ripe. Among the straw- 

 berries fruited at this Station for the first time in 1893, Prince- 

 ton Chief ranks fifth in productiveness. It was much more pro- 

 ductive on our soil that Bubach and will probably ship as well 

 as that variety." Only moderately productive in a two-year-old 

 bed, but on the whole has been quite satisfactory. 



Sadie, P. — Berries average small, but of good color and qual- 

 ity, firm. Plants strong and healthy, productive. The size of 

 the fruit is against it. 



Sunny Side, P. — From C. S. Pratt, Reading, Mass. This va- 

 riety has received favorable notice in former reports of this Sta- 

 tion. The plants are vigorous and productive; the berries are 

 medium to large, fair quality, moderately firm, attractive, mid- 

 season. Should be better known. 



Townsend No. 2, S. — From T. T. Lyon, South Haven, Mich. 

 Fruit medium to large, dark scarlet color, good quality, moder- 

 ately productive. Not as good as other well-known sorts for this 

 locality. 



Walton, P. — Not as good as well-known varieties for this 

 locality. Fruit small and soft; moderately productive.
