29.40, percent of quarters- 86,68, size= small, shell thickness- med- 
lum, cleavage- very good, plumpness-~ very good, color- medium, qual- 
ity=good, flavor- good, rated A-, promisingi We personally consider 
the flavor of Benton to be superior to most other varieties, othors 
who have tried them Have expressed the same view,-We are located 41 
45' N, Lat. and about 550 fect above sea levcl. We do not reccommend 
planting Benton north of 42° N, Lat. and there only at low altitudes 
as we secm to be near it's northern limit, It is one of the good ones 
where it will succeed, ;
