Explanation of table.— St. indicates staminate. P. indicates pistillate. Vigor, 

 production and quality are indicated by 10 as perfect and 1 as worthless. Size and 

 firmness same as red raspberry. Form, r. round, c. conical, irreg. irregular. Color, 

 1. light, sc. scarlet, d. dark. 



The Brandywine, Howard's No. 41 and Parker P^arle did not show 

 the yield in the plots that they did in the field. The Bubach did not 

 keep up to its former yield and the Marshall while producing large 

 and very fine berries did not yield more than one-half the quantity of 

 any of the variety reported in the above table. 



The Bismarck resembles the Bubach ingrowth of plant, with berries 

 of a large size, of lighter color, better form and quality. A very 

 promising variety but will require another season's trial to determine 

 its value for general planting. The Sample and a large number of 

 highly praised varieties were planted last spring, but as only the 

 growth of the plants can be reported they are not mentioned. 

 Something over 500 varieties of seedling strawberries are being 

 tested many of which show decided merit. None of these will be 

 propagated for distribution unless they show very decidedly qualities 

 superior to those varieties already introduced.
