Table 2. Season of Harvest, 1950-19^2 



Date of picking 



Beatrice and Arrowhead, which were fruited for the first time in 1952, appear 

 to be somevfhere between Temple and Sparkle in season. 



None of the newer varieties mentioned above shows promise of replacing Howard 

 (Premier) as an early berry. Robinson, in spite of its rather inferior quality and 

 softness, is the latest high producer tested so far. Berries of Great Bay are too 

 rough to be attractive and its quality is only fair. Catskill, Temple, Sparkle, 

 and Vermilion are probably the best quality varities among those listed here. 

 Yilhere red stele is a problem Pathfinder, Temple, or Fairland, and Sparkle appear to 

 fill the season as far as is possible at present.
