grower, the canes being from 4 to 5 feet high. A heavy cropper, a little later 
than most varieties. The berries are very bright red, conical or sometimes 
nearly round, firm, and good flavour. Raised by Mr. G. Pyne. 
11. Norwich Wonder (Paul). — Rather dwarf growing variety, canes about 
3 feet high ; a heavy cropper ; berries deep red, firm, and conical, borne 
in fairly large clusters. Appears to make very few new canes each season. 
2. Brown's Excelsior (Brown), H.C. — Moderately vigorous, canes about 
3 feet high ; a heavy cropper ; the berries being dull red and almost round, 
fairly firm and of good flavour. New canes are sparsely produced. Raised by 
Mr. Geo. Brown of Hull. 
6. Fastolf (Paul). — Dwarf and rather weak grower, canes about 2 or 3 feet 
high, but a good cropper ; berries borne in good -si zed clusters, bright red 
and almost round, of good flavour, fairly firm ; young canes produced are rather

13A. Penwill's Champion (Cousens.) — A rather weak - growing variety, 
canes about 3 feet high, berries small, round, dull red, of fair flavour, fair cropper. 
This variety was sent in to be included in the Autumn Fruiting Trial ; treated 
as such it failed to crop at all, but when treated as a Summer fruiter fairly good 
crops were obtained. 
15A. Old Red Antwerp (Cousens). — Another weak-growing variety, almost 
identical with the above (No. 13 a). Sent in as an Autumn fruiting variety and 
treated as such it failed to crop, but as a Summer fruiter, fairly good crops were 
obtained. 
1. Allen's Champion (Ballard). — Moderately vigorous, canes about 3 feet 
6 inches high ; crops rather lightly ; the berries are borne in medium-size clusters, 
are bright red, and bluntly conical, of good flavour, rather later than most 
varieties to ripen. Few new canes are produced each season. 
40. ? (Laxton). — A rather weak-growing variety, canes about 
3 feet 6 inches high, a good cropper, the berries being medium -sized, deep red 
and nearly round, flavour rather poor. 
42. Hillside Bountiful (Stokes). — Moderately vigorous, canes about 
3 feet 6 inches high, a very heavy cropper, medium-sized berries, a deep red, 
and nearly round, of fair flavour. Produces numerous strong new canes each 
season. Raised by sender. 
36. Laxton's Prolific (Laxton), C. — A very vigorous grower, but inclined 
to be of straggling habit, a very good cropper, and a little late in ripening. The 
berries are of medium size, deep red, conical and firm, and are borne in large clusters.

3. 5. Bath's Perfection (Cousens, Paul). — Also known in some localities 
as ' Hunter's Cane ' or ' Red Cane.' A very vigorous grower and a heavy cropper, 
one of the earliest to ripen. The berries are of medium size, dull red, almost 
round, and of good flavour. Very large quantities of vigorous young canes are 
thrown up each year. 
4. Marlboro' (Bunyard). — This variety is practically identical with Bath's 
Perfection, a good cropper and vigorous grower, showing the same earliness and 
prolific production of young canes as the above variety. Raised by A. J. 
Cay wood. 
42. Prior's Prolific (Prior). — Another variety so closely allied to Bath's 
Perfection as to be almost identical. 
39. Baumforth's Seedling ( ). — A vigorous grower, canes being 
about 4 feet 6 inches high. A good cropper, berries medium size, deep red, nearly 
round, but of poor flavour — produces a good supply of strong young canes. The 
old canes are a very deep reddish purple and are easily recognized. 
8. Goliath (Cousens). — A very vigorous grower, but of rather straggling 
habit ; canes about 4 to 5 feet high ; good cropper ; berries fairly large, deep 
red, globular, having very large drupels, rather soft, of good flavour. Very 
great quantities of young vigorous canes are produced each season. A variety 
said to have been imported from Holland. 
12. Park Lane (Cousens), A.M. — A very vigorous grower, frequently 
making canes up to 7 feet high, very much branched and of straggling habit. 
The berries are medium to large, bright red and nearly round, of excellent 
flavour, being f quite the best-flavoured variety in the trial ; it is inclined to be
