vigorous growth in 1906, and every one was killed by the winter 

 following. 



Northwestern Greening, I, 86. Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, 

 Ohio, 1895. Reference: Bulletin 82, p. 90. 



Set May 1895 ; first fruit 1902. Vigorous, hardy, productive. Not of 

 high quality. Specially promising as a stock for top-grafting. Good 

 condition, 1907.

 Report 1896, p. 69; Bulletin 82, p. 84. 



Permanently set, May, 1891. Full crop on all trees 1896, and nearly 

 every year since. Numbers 35, 36 and 37 are on a poor sandy knoll, 

 and have never thrived. The other trees have been exceptionally pro- 

 ductive. 



Paradise Sweet, I, 30. — Chas. S. Pope, Manchester, Me., 1902. 



Top-grafted into Haas, 11 years old, April, 1902. Has made strong 

 growth every year. Somewhat injured by cold, 1906-07. 



PEwaukEE, I, 75," II, 4.— Ellwanger & Barry, 1890. Reference: 

 Annual Report, 1896, pp. 69, 71. 



Permanently set, May, 1891. First fruit 1894 (few specimens). No. 

 4 bore lVz bushels in 1896, and has given a fair crop nearly every year 

 since. Vigorous, hardy. Is being grown in some parts of Maine as a 

 stock for top-grafting to Baldwin.

Permanently set, May, 1891. Nos. 31 to 34 were top-grafted in the 

 nursery, while 72 and 73 were nursery budded trees. The top-worked 

 trees fruited freely after 1899; the others were disturbed by removal 

 of soil in 1893 and never fully recovered, though fruiting freely after 

 1901. All trees of this variety were fatally injured by cold of 1906-07. 



Primate, III, 67. — Ellwanger & Barry, 1894. 



First fruits in 1900. Badly attacked by canker, and half of tree cut 

 away, 1905 ; in weakened condition, killed by winter of 1906-07. Appar- 

 ently one of the best early varieties for home use.
