220 MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Saunders. This new much-praised seedling has done almost nothing in 

 fruit production, though it produced a good lot of plants. 



Pearl, {h) Is a beautiful, bright red berry that did poorly with us last 

 year, but this season is very productive. 



VanDeman. (b) Did very well with us last year, but this season it 

 seems inclined to rust. 



The much praised Lady Riisk was a failure in 1890 and 1891, and again 

 this year. 



Bubach. {p) Will give us a few magnificent berries, but not enough to 

 make a profitable crop. 



Jessie, (b) Is a failure with us. Perhaps, it had too indulgent a guard- 

 ian when young, for I hear many reports against it. 



Captain Jack, (b) Has rusted so badly that it will not mature a tenth 

 part of the fruit set. 



Crescent, ip) Is doing well, but is not nearly as productive as Warfleld 

 and a few others, though it is still worth holding on to. 



Mrs. Cleveland. Has done very well. 



Park Beauty. Will yield a fair crop of medium-sized berries, but its 

 foliage is badly rusted. 



Wilson. (6) Is not worth growing on our grounds. 



Enhance, (b) Has produced some very good fruit from August set 

 plants, but needs another season's trial to tTioroughly test it. 



Seedling No. 7. (b) From John Little; is one of the most striking in 

 foliage and fruit of all that have come to my notice for several years. 

 The foliage is tall and dark green. The fruit is large, fine and forms on 

 long peduncles. Very productive and a promising late kind. 



Seedling No. 9.{p) Also from John Little; is very productive, and a 

 promising variety of large size. 



Lovett's Early, [b] This is a berry of good color, form and substance, but 

 not sufficiently productive to be profitable. 



Osaola. Is the same as Michel's Early. 



Olive. Is a berry sent us from F. Strubler, of Napierville, 111. This is 

 the second year we have had it on our grounds. It is a very strong 

 grower, but is a total failure so far as fruit is concerned. 



Tippecanoe. Is ruined by rust. 



Boynton. [p) Is a red berry, about the size and with much the appear- 

 ance of the Crescent, but no better. 



Oregon Everbearing. Whatever everbearing qualities it may once have 

 had, it does not show them here, and I rather doubt whether it ever 

 boreover any number of consecutive seasons more than one crop a year. 

 Not desirable. 



Schuster's Gem. (p) This variety did remarkably well with us last year, 

 but not so well this. It is of good size and promising. 



Mammoth, Great American, Middlefield, Wolverton, Farnsworth, Gov. 

 Hoard and Atlantic are none of them possessed of any striking merit this 

 year.
