culture. This variety has been popular 

 for many years because of its carrying 

 qualities, its fairly good quality, and its 

 uniform shape and size as compared 

 with other varieties. 



The Irish Grey variety, commonly re- 

 ferred to as the "Sweetheart" in many 

 western markets, has been gaining favor 

 in Chicago and other markets and re- 

 ceipts of this variety showed a material 

 increase the past season. The Irish 

 Grey usually has commanded a premium 

 over the Tom Watson, because of its 

 excellent flavor and attractive coloring. 



The Excel is another variety of which 

 shipments have been liberal. In Chi- 

 cago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Minne- 

 apolis prices for the Excel and the Tom 

 Watson range nearly the same. 



The Tom Watson is the leading vari- 

 ety in eastern markets, also, although 

 in Boston this season nearly as many 

 Excels were received. 



The Irish Grey does not sell readily 

 in either Boston or New York. In Pitts- 

 burgh, however, the Irish Grey usually 

 is in good demand and brings high 

 prices except when there is an over- 

 supply. The Tom Watson is next in 

 demand in Pittsburgh, with the Excel 

 third among the leading varieties.
