VARIETY NO. Ill 



This variety, which originated in a selection made in 1888 from a 

 field of the Honduras, but which has no resemblance to that variety, 

 has given good results in the three years succeeding that selection. 

 The canes are quite short and stocky, and ripen quite as early as the 

 Folger variety. This year it gave better results in analysis than the 

 Folger, having higher purity and a higher percentage of sugar. It is 

 considered worthy of further work. Nine lots were planted.

VARIETY NO. 161. 



This variety, which originated in a cross of Amber and Link's Hybrid, 

 in 1888, has always been remarkable for its low percentage of glucose, 

 it being always less than 1 per cent, and in frequent analyses only a 

 trace. More reversions or variations were observed in these lots this 

 year than last. Its canes are tall and slender. Its percentage of sugar 

 and of glucose has been remarkably constant in three years 5 twenty-six 

 lots were planted in this variety. It is believed that a uniform new 

 variety, ripening nearly as early as Amber, remaining good longer and 

 superior to it in all respects, can be developed from this selection, but the 

 slenderness of the canes is objectionable.
