giving the general shape of the ''Delicious" to the fine, smo<3th^ 

 orange fiiiits. The flesh is uniformly of the same color as the- 

 surface and with abundant large, white seeds. The keeping quali- 

 ties were not good, but the fruits were perhaps not fully matured 

 at harvest time, owing to the replanting and shortened season. 



J. '^Warren-Boston Marrow" (7/2). A few plants were esj^e^ 

 cially vigorous, but the majority were overtaken by the stem g-rub' 

 and perished. There was a replanting upon July 6th, from which 

 a dozen marketable fruits were obtained, but were not sufficiently 

 mature for seed-saving. The best hill of the original planting 

 gave eight fruits, all of the same color (cream-orange), quite like 

 the ''Boston Marrow,-' and in shape a blend of the "cheese" of the 

 "Warren" and the broadly obovate of the "Marrow\" Of the 

 twelve fruits suitable for seed-saving, five showed a well-defined 

 navel and seven none,, but the latter had a flat blossom end, unlike 

 the "Marrow" type, and there was therefore not a uniform blend- 

 ing of the two forms of ends above mentioned. 



K. ^'Warren-Japanese" (7/31). This, and all* the follo\ving 

 crosses, Avere grown upon the Ncav Land, and had less favorable 

 conditions than obtained upon the Garden proper. The vines were 

 slow in getting a start, but finally made a large growth and covered 

 the ground. At harvest, upon September 25th, thirteen fruits- 

 (all of good size) were secured, two of Avhich are showai at 5 in 

 Plate XXI. Xine of the fruits were orange colored, considerably 

 ribbed and of the shape shown in the left one of the pair at 5. By 

 comparing this with samples of the "Japanese," shown at its left 

 (30), it is seen to be much larger, less ridged, not sunken at the 

 stem or blossom end, and with the stem long and comparatively 

 slender, like the mother parent. Three of the crossed fruits were 

 quite nearly like the "Japanese" in general outline, and one,. 

 shown at 5, was nearly green and smooth, and having an unusually 

 long stem. In sectional view the fruits all showed a medinm- 

 thick flesh and an indication of navel in the grain, and coloration 

 of flesh at the blossom end in eight, while four had a distinct navel 

 showing upon the outside. These little plants had but few plump 

 seeds and these were all of large type, similar to the "Warren,"' 

 but lacking the white color of the latter. The seeds in the fruits 

 of the "Japanese" type were numerous and small. 



L. ^'Japanese-M ammoth Chili" (15/16). Eight fruits of mar- 

 ketable size were obtained from this set of hybrid squashes, six of 

 which were solid dark green and two entirely orange, and in shape 

 uniformly oval and somewhat ribbed, two samples of which are 

 shown at 6. The largest orange fruit had a thickish flesh of the.
