IV. MuskinffUm (S.) — A seedling grown 

 in Ohio, by G. Kearns. The plant is a good 

 healthy grower ; the season of fruit is late ; size 

 of berry medium to large ; quality is good ; it is 

 firm, and medium in productiveness ; it is a very 

 fair variety. It did not do as well this year as in 

 1894, the frost hurt it very much this year. 

 Second year of fruiting. 



V. Parker Earle (S.)— A seedling from 

 Texas, from the Crescent, crossed with Munson's 

 No. 8, by J. Nimon. The plant makes very few 

 runners, rusts somewhat, the plant stools out ; the 

 season is late ; the size of berr)-^ is small to medium ; 

 the quality is fair and the berry is firm ; it is very 

 productive, the plant is not able to mature the 

 great mass of fruit it sets ; if it were in a deep rich, 

 moist soil it might do so, but in the soil here it is 

 not worth growing. I have seen the berries just 

 dry up before coloring ; then in such hot dry 

 weather the berries are small and sour, unless 

 under above conditions of soil. I would not ad- 

 vise any one to plant largely of Parker Earle. 

 Fourth year of fruiting. 



VI. Equinox (S.)— A seedling of Mount 

 Vernon, by M. T. Thompson, Va. The plant is 

 a good strong grower, healthy ; little or no rust ; 

 season of fruiting very late ; size of berry medium 

 to large ; quality good ; color crimson ; the berry 

 is quite firm and the plant is very productive, in 

 fact one of the most productive I had ; I expect 

 to hear very good accounts of the Equinox in the 

 future. First year of fruiting. 



VII. Gandy (S). — A seedling of Jersey 

 Queen and Glendale. The plant is a strong 

 and vigorous grower, quite healthy ; season of 

 fruit is late ; size of berry medium to large, quality 

 of fruit is good ; a good looking and shapely berry ; 

 color dark crimson, roundish conical, a very firm 

 berry, but a shy bearer ; this is its greatest fault ; 

 it gives one grand picking, then is done. Third 

 year of fruiting.
