bush berries were substituted. The 

 bush berries consist of Phenomenal, 

 New Cory's Thornless, Dewberry, Him- 

 alayas and Logan. The. Phenomenal has 

 been considered by many as practically 

 identical with the Logan. The Cory 

 Thornless, aside from its easy handling, 

 is a berry of fine flavor. 



Principal Plantings. 



Forty-five per cent of the plantings 

 consist of the Banner variety. Nick 

 Ohmer, originally an eastern berry, has 

 become popular since its introduction. 

 About twenty-five per cent of the plant- 

 ings of the Oak Grove Farm are of this 

 variety. About ten per cent of the 

 farm is given over to New Oregon. 

 Marshalls take up about ten per cent of 

 the plantings on the Oak Grove Farm. 

 Klondykes have been planted with an 

 eye for the early market, this variety 

 bearing heavily several weeks before 

 the Banner and throwing a large crop 

 of fine berries at a time when prices 

 are attractively high. The old Brandy- 

 wine has almost passed out of the com- 

 mercial plantings in that district, but 

 the renewed strain which has been given 

 a chance seems to be showing up re- 

 markably well. 



One of the most interesting sights 

 in the whole field is the planting of 

 Malindas. On the Eaton ranch at Wat- 

 sonville, it made what is probably the 

 world's record for continuous bearing, 

 shipments being made for fourteen con- 

 secutive months from one field. From 

 constant replanting of California-grown 

 stock this strain has become devitalized 

 and run down. Eight years ago Mr. Hyde 

 took these to Oregon and he is bring- 

 ing back at the present time a stronger 

 strain than he has ever had before. One 

 bed of Malindas planted from the im- 

 proved strain is 100 per cent perfect, 

 every plant strong, clean, healthy and 

 vigorous. Tlie other bed, planted from 

 California-grown stock, is spotted, over 

 forty per cent of the {)lants dead; the 

 balance are irregular as to size, weak 

 and poor. If it had been planned as 

 a demonstration plot it could not have 

 shown better the value of careful con- 

 tinuous effort in the building up and 

 maintaining of strains. 



PROPAGATING ROSA HUGONIS. 



How can Rosa Hugonis be propagated! 

 Half-ripened green-wood cuttings taken 

 in July and August do not root for 

 me. E. C. M.— N. J. 



Taking half-ripened wood in July is 

 one method, but far the best way to get 

 up a good stock is from seed, which 

 should be stratified and sown in flats in 

 early spring. C. W.
