has been made, as they grew in the same plots, and some of the 

 results are given in the table below. A large amount of cross- 

 ing was secured between a wide range of kinds. The table shows 

 the experiment number for each sort, and the name and source 

 of the seed, followed by the number of marketable fruits at each 

 of the seven pickings. To this is added the number of cracked, 

 rotten and small and green fruits. The average fruit per plant, 

 together with the average size, gives something as to the yield 

 of each sort, while the total of marketable fruits (near the mid- 

 dle of the columns of figures) indicates the real product. The 

 season when these latter fruits were gathered is shown by the 

 figures under each date of picking. Thus it is seen that "Ber- 

 muda"' (ii) gave the largest picking on August 8th. while the 

 "Duke of York" (32) on August 29th. A glance, for example, 

 at the figures for Xo. 3, "Advance," and No. 4, "Arcadia," give 

 much information as to the profitableness of those two varieties 

 as grown under the conditions that obtained at the Station gar- 

 dens for 1904.
