very large and dark red. Productive. Foliage and growth good. 

 Very conspicuous on account of its very dark green foliage and 

 long leaf stocks.

 resembles the Warfield. Foliage and growth good. Ver3' pro- 

 ductive.

 size and color. Not sufficiently productive to be profitable. 



Standard. Pistillate. Fruit small and poor. Growth weak. 



Sterens. Perfect. Fruit small and sparingly produced. Growth 

 weak.

WarBeld. With us this still ranks among the few most product-

 considered. It is a good shipping berry and is popular for market- 

 ing. Fruit onlj- medium in size.

In addition to the varieties mentioned, there have been grown and 

 fruited at the station about four hundred seedlings from Haverland 

 and Warfield crossed with Michel's Early. Sixty of these have been 

 deemed worthy of further trial, and some of them are verj- promis- 

 ing. All the berries from the varieties reported on were grown on 

 the first crop taken from the bed. Most of the varieties also fruited 

 on beds that were producing their second crop, in fact, the best 

 berries came from the old beds, i. e., those that were producing 

 their second and third crops. 



The varieties that fiave done best with us are arranged in order of 

 value as follows: 



Pistillate kinds — Perfect flowering kinds- 



Crescent, Bederwood, 



Warfield, Michel's Earlj-, 



Haverland, Wilson.
