 Growth poor. 



Goi^. Hoard. Perfect. Fruit small and irregular. Foliage and

Great PaciGc. Pistillate. Fruit of fair size but irregular. It sets 

 a very large amount of fruit, but fails to mature it, except under 

 very favorable circumstances. Foliage and growth good. 



Greenville. Fruit large, firm and of good color. Foliage and 

 growth vigorous. Productive. 



Great American. Pistillate. Fruit of medium size, rather irregu- 

 lar and late. Foliage and growth good. 



Haverland. Not so productive as Warfield but of larger size and 

 much better quality, and well worth)^ of being ranked among the 

 most desirable kinds. Fruit stems short, and unless heavily 

 mulched most of the fruit will be worthless.

 sufficiently productive for the market. Foliage and growth fair. 



Lovett's Early. Perfect. Fruit of good size and form and bright 

 red in color. Firm and very productive. Foliage and growth good. 



Michel's Early. This variety is not sufficientlj' productive to

 Bederwood, which is nearly or quite as good a poUinizer and far 

 more productive.

 firm and moderately productive. Foliage and growth fair.

 Avhere it is not filled out. Not productive. Foliage and growth fair. 



Noble. Perfect. Growth ver}' poor, and little fruit produced. 



Oliver. Perfect. This variet}-- is mentioned because it illustrates 

 a fickleness in fruit production that is quite remarkable. We have 

 grown this variety for three years and have scarce got a berr}' from 

 it, although there has not been a general failure of the strawberr}- 

 crop during that time. 



Parker Earle. Highlj^ reported on by soine growers in the state, 

 but at the station it generally sets more fruit than it can mature 

 well. Very productive, when it ripens its fruit. 



Putnam. Pistillate. Fruit of good size, light red in color, coni- 

 cal. Foliage and growth good. Moderately productive. 



Saunders. Perfect. Fruit medium in size and bright red. Foli- 

 age somewhat diseased. 



Seedling No. 9. (From John Little, Grauton. Ont.) Pistillate.
