250 BUSE-FRUITS 



Skagit Chief, — A variety sent out from the state of Washing- 

 ton in 1891. 



Washington Belle. — Sent out from the state of Washington with 

 the Skagit Chief. Neither variety appears to have attracted much 

 attention in the Eastern states. As observed by the writer at 

 Cornell, while the plants were still young they appeared to pos- 

 sess the imperfect blossoms characteristic of this species in many 

 cases, which would naturally tend to interfere with their success. 



Recommended • Varieties of Dewberries 



Apparently but three varieties need be mentioned 

 here, the Lucretia for the Eastern states, the Mayes for 

 the West and Southwest, and the Loganberry for the 

 Pacific Coast. How far these will succeed in the other 

 regions it is yet impossible to say. The Bartel is also 

 successfully grown by some persons in Wisconsin and 

 Iowa.
