color scarlet. It ripened with the earliest and stood third for pro- 

 ductiveness. A very promising early berry. 



Paris King. Moderately vigorous, foliage blighted slightly. 

 Fruit large and very attractive in appearance, quality fair. It is a 

 free bloomer bearing abundant pollen and is a good pollenizer. 



ParTier Earle. Stands at the head of the station list for pro- 

 ductiveness, twenty-flve plants bearing sixty-nine ounces more than 

 any other variety in the] plots. When given a rich heavy soil and an 

 abundant supj)ly of water it is very productive, but unless these 

 requirements are fulfilled it usually proves a failure. 



Bio. A fairly vigorous grower, foliage blights little. Fruit small 

 to large, round, conical in form, firm and of good quality. The first 

 berries to ripen are large, the later ones are .smaller. Was not pro- 

 ductive this season. It has been productive in other places and has 

 many good qualities for an early berry. 



Splendid. A large, round berry of good quality and very fine 

 appearance. Foliage strong and healthy. Promising. 



Wonder. P^vidently identical with the Timbrell. It ripens a 

 little more evenly, but not enough to warrant its introduction as a 

 new variety.
