The following varieties mostly of recent introduction, have given 

 evidence of some merit, and a more detailed account is given than 

 can be found in the table. 



Aroma. The plants are moderately vigorous and productive. 

 Fruit large, bright crimson and of high quality. Valuable for home 

 garden. 



Charlie. Vigorous and very productive. Fruit of good form, 

 firm enough for near market, liut a little too^light colored to make a 

 good seller. 



Cumberland. An old variety not much grown, but for vigor and 

 productiveness unsurpassed. The berries are large and of very good 

 form and quality but their light color and soft^texture detract much 

 from the value as a variety for market. 



Edith. Plants are of short and stocky growth. Berries the largest 

 of any variety. The first to ripen were coxcomb in form and very 

 irregular, but later were more regular and of better quality. It 

 ripens late, but is not productive enough to be of much value for 

 market. 



Epping. Plants made a vigorous growth of light colored foliage. 

 It ripened with the earliest and was the most productive of any variety 

 in the field test. The berries were medium to large, moderately firm 

 and of good quality. The color is light scarlet. It is one of the 

 most promising of the newer varieties. 



General Putnam. Vigorous and very productive. The berries are 

 large and very regular in form but are too^sof t and light colored. 

 May be valuable for near-by market. 



Jacunda Improved. An improved type of Jucunda. Vigorous 

 but not productive. The berries are a rich crimson color with prom- 

 inent yellow seeds, of excellent quality, perfect form and even size. 

 In appearance it is excelled by none ; and, while not productive 

 enough to be profitable for market, it might well be given a place in 

 the home garden. 



Leader. This popular variety made a good growth, blossomed 

 very profusely and set a large amount of fruit. The last of May, 

 it was the most iiromising variety on the grounds, but it seemed to lack 

 the vitality to carry out the fruit it had set. Berries medium to large, 

 regular in form antl of fair quality. It blooms early and is a good 

 poUenizer. 



Governor Hoard. Plants strong and stocky. Berries large, inclined 

 to be irregular, crimson, firm and good quality. A good shipper, 

 but lacks in productiveness.
