Early King, Erie and Minnewaski have not proved sufficiently 

 hardy to be of any value for this locality. P^ldorado, Hoosier, 

 Lovett's Best, Ohiner, Woodford and Topsy fruited here for the 

 first time, hence a comparison of their yields this season gives the 

 apparent rather than the positive relation of their productiveness. 



Early Harvest. This variety is being recommended as valuable 

 for New England but it was tested several years ago in the experi- 

 ment [ilots and after five seasons' trial was discarded as too tender 

 and too small to be of any value. 



Eldorado. A vigorous growing variety that seems quite hardy and 

 very productive. Fruit medium size ; good quality. Has not fruited 

 enough to prove its value. 



Hoosier. Fairly vigorous, liardy and very productive. Fruit 

 largo ; quality very good. A promising variety. 



Ohmer. Vigorous ; although not much injured the past winter, it 

 was badly killed back the previous year and is of doubtful hardiness. 

 Fruit very large and handsome, but poor in quality. 



Topsy. This variety winter-kills so badly that it can be of no 

 value here.
