Lovett. Is vigorous and productive. Ripens mid-season, medium 

 size, irregular, fair quality, moderately firm. A good variety for 

 market and for fertilizing the medium early pistillate varieties. 



Luther. Ripened with the earliest. The first berries to ripen were 

 large, bright crimson, very regular, and of superior quality. After 

 a few pickings however, they became small and of little value. If 

 this variety can be grown with sufficient vitality to carry out its fruit, 

 it will prove one of the most valuable. 



Marshall. This variety has probably received more favorable 

 comment than any other of recent introduction. It is one of the 

 most vigorous in growth, and produces a largequantity of very large, 

 beautiful, dark crimson berries of regular form and superior quality. 

 It appears, however, to be very tender both in foliage and blossom. 

 It readily succumbs to attacks of leaf blight and more than 90 per 

 cent of the foliage winter killed. The plants made a strong growth 

 of new foliage however, but the crop was injured in the blossom by 

 the late spring frost, the small amount of fruit that matured being 

 malformed. Needs further testing before it can be recommended for 

 general culture. 



Oar Choice. Vigorous and productive. Berry of good form and 

 fair quality, but too soft for long shipment. Valuable for home 

 market because of its productiveness. 



Ona. A heallhy grower. Ripens with the earliest, very good 

 quality, form and color. A little soft, but otherwise very promising. 



Pacific. Made a good growth and was very productive. The fruit 

 is large, of good quality and appearance. 



Princess. Plants healthy, but not vigorous, and moderately pro- 

 ductive. Fruit medium size, of good appearance and very superior 

 quality. Valuable where quality is appreciated. 



Rio. A very good, early variety. Plants productive, but not 

 vigorous. Berries of large, even size and regular form. 



Sta)idard. Very productive. Fruit large and of fair quality, but 

 rather soft for shipping. 



Tennessee Prolific. Makes a strong growth of healthy foliage. 

 Fruit large, a little irregular, bright color, firm and of good quality. 

 Ripens medium early, but continues to ripen fruit with the latest. A 

 very good variety for home, garden and market. 



Thompson's Prolific. Plants strong, healthy and productive, 

 berries large, irregular, firm and of excellent quality. Blossomed 

 with the first and ripened a few berries very early, but was at its 

 best about mid-season. Very promising.
