Shiawasse. A variety much resembling the Fameuse, but larger 

 and about equal in quality. It has shown something of the defects 

 of the latter variety in growing irregular. It promises to be valu- 

 able under conditions where the Fameuse is successfully grown. 



Sutton Beauty. Specimens of this variety were rather larger than 

 usual, very perfect in form and color. When grown on rich land and 

 the fruit properly thinned, it is of good size and its beauty and 

 quality is sure to increase the demand for it as it becomes better 

 known. 



Palmer Greening. The young trees of this variety bore only a 

 few specimens, which were of unusual size and well colored. As 

 with the last variety its quality will increase the demand for it as it 

 becomes better known. 



Ord Beni. An apple medium to large in size, of beautiful color 

 and very promising. 



Titovka. Of large size, rather coarse in grain and quality, but as 

 it can be put on the market with tiie Early Harvest it may prove 

 valuable for cooking. 



Laioyer (Delaware \V inter). Although an old variety, few vari- 

 eties give promise of more value than this. It is of medium to large 

 size, brilliantly colored all over with bright crimson, very fine in 

 texture, of fair quality and a ver}' late keeper. It is much better in 

 quality than the Ben Davis and promises to be as good a keeper. 



Walhridge. A very handsome ap[»le of medium to large size and 

 good quality. It is productive and a good keeper. 



Red Russet. This variety bears lieavily and the fruit when thinned 

 is of good quality, intermediate between the Baldwin and Roxbury 

 Russet. It is claimed to be a graft hybrid between the two. The past 

 season it produced perfect specimens of the distinct Baldwin type 

 with no Russet markings, specimens of the perfect russet type 

 with no red markings, and the type of the variety, having both red 

 and russet markings. 



Grapes. 



Nearly all the varieties of grapes in the experiment vineyard made 

 a fine growth during the season of 1895, although they bore a heavy 

 crop of fruit. Many of the less hardy varieties were, however, so 

 badly injured by the winter, that the crop of tlie present season was
