It may be well to observe that the dark, leathery foliage of John- 

 son's Late is a marked characteristic of its descendants, whatever the 

 plant used for the male parent. In all crosses where the Sharpless was 

 used as the male parent a very large percentage of the seedlings pro- 

 duced have been thought worthy of further testing, l^o doubt many, 

 and perhaps all of these varieties, by further testing, wiU. develop 

 defects serious enough to cause the variety to be discarded. Yet we 

 have learned that both these varieties, namely, Johnson's Late and 

 Sliarpless, are valuable for crossing to originate new varieties, and some 

 of the most promising of the station's seedlings thus far produced 

 wore secured by crossing Johnson's Late and Sharpless.
