Ruby, Burbank’s Seedling. 
Mr. Hollister. We have discarded the Ruby because of its poor 
quality. 
Mr. Grimes. Burbank’s Seedling has yielded 390 bushels to the 
acre, is of extra quality and at its best in the spring. (Mr. Grimes 
distributed specimens to several parties.) Mr. Storrs suggested that 
those who received specimens should report upon them at next 
meeting. 
Mr, Hollister. We have tried the Burbank’s Seedling and are 
much pleased with it. ‘ 
Early Rose, Brownell’s Beauty, Snowflake. 
Mr. McHenry. J have not computed the yield per acre, but have 
weighed and compared the seed and the product. Harly Rose pro- 
duced 56 times the quantity of seed planted, while Snowflake and 
Brownell’s Beauty produced 72 times the seel planted. These 
varieties I have found to be the best. 
Mr. Hollister. We find the Snowflake best for yield and for 
market. 
. Mr. Gould. I like it as well as any but the yield is not as good 
as Early Rose and it is a little inclined to rot. 
Mr. Brimhall. The Snowflake yields as well as Karly Rose and 
sells better. It brings 5 cents per bushel more, but turns black 
when warm weather comes.
