more or less folded and waved, often slightly reflexed, ovate, erect, rather thin, 

 smooth with little fine pubescence. Serratures rather sharp, medium size, rather 

 shallow, fairly regular. Color clear medium green. (Fig. 16.) 



Oldenburg. — Petiole long. Blade above medium to large, more or less folded, 

 slightly reflexed, distinctly waved, broad oval, broad at base and apex, spreading, 

 medium thickness, rather dull surface with medium pubescence. Serratures rather 

 dull, medium in size and depth, irregular. Color medium green. (Fig. 6.) 



Opalescent. — Petiole medium. Blade medium size, somewhat folded, some- 

 times waved, oval, rather narrow at base, apex narrowing into the point, spreading, 

 medium thickness, smooth and shining with little pubescence. Serratures dull, 

 rather small, of medium depth, quite regular. Color medium green. (Fig. 20.) 



Red Astrachan. — Petiole medium. Blade large, flat or slightly folded, waved 

 or wrinkled, broad oval, broad at apex, spreading, medium thickness, dull surface 

 with a little pubescence. Serratures dull, medium in size and depth, rather irregular.

Rhode Island Greening. — Petiole long, medium size. Blade large, flat or reverse 

 curved, not waved, broad oval, rounded or narrow at base, broad at apex, spreading

 size, folded near edge, not waved nor reflexed, broad oval, broad at base and apex, 

 spreading, rather smooth with medium pubescence. Serratures only moderately

Stayman. — Petiole short to medium. Blade rather small, roundish or broad 

 oval, partly folded, not waved nor reflexed, spreading, rather thick, coarse tex-

 oval, narrow at base and apex, spreading, medium texture with considerable pubes- 

 cence. Serratures moderately sharp, medium size, quite distinct, generally quite

 rather thin with moderate pubescence. Serratures quite sharp, rather coarse, deep

 more pubescence. (Fi&. 15.)

 nearly flat, often somewhat reflexed, often spiral and waved, oval with narrow base 

 and apex, spreading, thick and with little pubescence. Serrations dull, medium in
