In- 
crescent, Wilson, liubacli ami Tinibrell were 
killed by the frost, the Kyle went through 
frost proof and produced a fine crop of deep 
glistening red colored Iterries, and pos,sessed 
of a facinating tartish flavor. It is an enor- 
mous yielder. The fruit is ver}' solid and 
firm. In all cold localities the Kyle will be 
a success. I intended to have a fine stock to 
offer this .spring, but as a result of the late 
setting during the drought I lost most of my 
plants. I have placed them with some of 
our horticultural critics to test their merits 
and will wait their report. I herewith sub- 
mit a report from the careful experimentor, 
Chas H. Sumner:
