' Supplementary to the table we give below a few notes on some 

 varieties ol' recent introduction and on a few older varieties requiring 

 special mention. Descriptions of the other varieties will be found in 

 former bulletins of this station. 



Australian Everbearing, Breeze's Seedling, Briggs' Seedling, 

 Eleanor, Fountain, Hall, Ivanhoe, Margaret, IMineola and Victor 

 Hugo fruited for the lirst time on the station grounds, and failed to 

 give much promise of value. They will require further testing 

 before a positive report of their value can be given. 



Arroiv. Plant vigorous, setting abundant runners ; foliage very 

 free from blight. Fruit medium, even in size, bright crimson, mod- 

 erately firm and of good quality. One of the most productive of the 

 new varieties. 



Bayiquet. A moderate grower, somewhat subject to blight. Fruit 

 medium to large, rich dark crimson, quite firm and of fair quality. 

 This is a very handsome berry, but did not appear to be productive 

 enough to be profitable for market, and did not possess the high 

 quality that has been accorded it. Needs further trial. 



Beverly. A very valuable variety for market or home use. It 

 appears to be identical with the old Miner's Prolific. 



Bisel. Moderately vigorous ; foliage showed considerable blight. 

 Very productive, large conical berries, of medium firmness, but only 

 fair quality. A promising variety, worthy of a trial. 



BoecMey. Plant very vigorous and productive, setting many run- 

 ners. Fruit of medium size, bright scarlet color and rather inferior 

 quality. Its fine foliage, freedom from blight and great productive- 

 ness make it worthy of trial. 



Bostonian. A very vigorous grower, but subject to blight ; run- 

 ners very abundant ; leaf stalks long and slender ; fruit stalks long 

 but upright. Blooms profusely, but berries do not set well, and it 

 has i)r()ved only fairly productive. Berries small to medium ; regu- 

 lar conical ; bright scarlet ; fair quality. A promising late variety. 



Brandyivine. A vigorous grower, setting many runners. F'ruit 

 conical, sometimes irregular in form, rich dark crimson, quite firm 

 and of good quality. A very large, attractive, productive berry, 

 valuable fur market or amateur growers. 



Columbian. Plant very vigorous, quite free from blight. Fruit 

 medium size, round, scarlet, medium firm anil fair quality. It did 

 not prove as productive as its fine growth promised and is of doubt- 

 ful value.
