DECEMBER, 1903, TO DECEMBER, 1905. 123 



13002 to 13006— Continued. 



13005 and 13006. New tangerine oranges. 



No. 13005 (P. B. No. 628) has been named the Weshart, and No. 13006 (P. B. 

 No. 627) has been named the Trimble. 



A large number of hybrids have been made in the course of the investiga- 

 tions between the tangerine and various varieties of the sweet orange, with 

 the object of producing an orange having the quality and character of the 

 sweet orange with the loose, easily removable rind of the tangerine. Among 

 the different hybrids which have thus far fruited, two have produced fruits 

 which in all respects resemble true tangerines but are two weeks earlier than 

 the earliest tangerines, and are larger, richer in color, and of rather superior 

 quality. 



13007 to 13026. 



From Philadelphia, Pa. Received thru Henry A. Dreer (Incorporated), Feb- 

 ruary 28, 1905.

 mont Experiment Station, March 3, 1905. 



A collection of European potatoes for breeding purposes, as follows: 

 13027. 



British Queen. (L. R. Jones's No. 43.) Originated by Findlay. Second 

 early; white skin and flesh; kidney; quality reputed excellent and yield good. 

 "Best second early in cultivation in England to-day," according to one high 

 authority. Mr. Findlay claims that it is highly disease resisting, but others 

 do not so consider it. Especially commended for trial in Florida, etc. 



13028. 



Royal Kidney. (L. R. Jones's No. 44.) Originated by Findlay, 1901. Late 

 second early; white; quality excellent; yield good. Mr. Findlay claims this 

 to be one of the hardiest disease-resisting varieties he has sent out. Com- 

 mended for trial both in the North and South, as well as in Colorado. 



13029. 



Empire Kidney. (L. R. Jones's No. 45.) One of Findlay's recent varieties, 

 and especially recommended by him as disease resisting and worthy of trial. 

 Heavy yielder; good quality; said to be best on fertile loam. Selected espe- 

 cially for trial in the Northland West, rather than in the South. 



13030. 



Evergood. (L. R. Jones's No. 46.) Originated and sent out by Findlay, 

 about 1899. Medium late; white; oval; high quality; heavy cropper. Char- 

 acterized by prolonged autumnal growth if the season favors. Commended 

 by Mr. Findlay and others as disease resisting. Selected especially for trial in 

 the North and West. 



13031. 



Goodfellow. (L. R. Jones's No. 47. ) Originated by Mr. Findlay. Medium 

 late; white skin and flesh; round; quality fine; yield good. Characterized by 

 Mr. Findlay and others as disease resisting. Selected especially for trial in 

 the North and West. 



13032. 



Up-to-Date. (L. R. Jones's No. 48. ) One of Findlay's varieties sent out 

 many years ago and now one of the standard main crop varieties of England. 

 Commended as still in a fair degree disease resisting, altho past its prime in 

 this respect. Medium late; white; excellent quality; strong yielder. Com- 

 mended especially for trial in the North and West.
