404 Report oF THE HorTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT OF THE 
conic or slightly wedged, dark glossy scarlet. Flesh good color, 
firm, juicy, not high flavor or quality. Foliage somewhat injured 
by leaf blight. Does not appear promising at this Station on account 
of variable size and low flavor and quality. On account of habit of 
making but few runners, the plants should be set considerable closer 
than usual to secure a good yield. 
Ernie.—(A. R. Weston & Co., Bridgman, Mich.) Per. Origi- 
nated by Dr. S. Mandlin, Bridgman, Mich., in 1895. Introduced by 
A. R. Weston & Co. in 1903. Parentage unknown. Plants moder- 
ately numerous, vigorous, moderately productive. Leaves above 
medium to large, dark green; leaf stems long, moderately thick. 
Fruit stems rather short, moderately thick, usually double. Comes 
in bloom May 17. Calyx rather large, leafy, set in a slight hollow. 
Seeds raised. Fruit above medium to large, dropping in size as the 
season advances, roundish conic, slightly elongated, attractive, 
glossy, rather dark scarlet. Flesh good color, firm, aromatic, agree- 
able mild acid, good to very good in flavor and quality. Foliage 
considerably injured by leaf blight. Appears to be worthy of 
further testing. 
Fairfield.—(M. Crawford, Cuyahoga Falls, O.) Per. Plants 
only moderately numerous, vigorous, moderately productive. 
Leaves medium size, light green; leaf stems rather long, rather 
slender. Fruit stems short to medium, stout, usually double. 
Comes in bloom May 15. Calyx rather large, recurved. Seeds 
numerous, moderately depressed. Fruit large at first pickings, 
dropping rapidly to below medium as the season advances, roundish 
conic, sometimes quite sharply pointed, large berries often with fur- 
rowed surface, attractive light scarlet. Flesh well colored, moder- 
ately firm to firm, rather acid, lacking somewhat in flavor and qual- 
ity, ranking no more than fair. Picks easily. One of the earliest to 
ripen. Although undesirable in quality, it may have some value 
where earliness is the prime requisite. 
Glen Mary.—(L. J. Farmer, Pulaski, N. Y.) Per. Originated 
by Mr. Jugham, West Chester, Pa. Introduced by W. F. Allen, 
Salisbury, Md. This standard variety was for some reason very 
unsatisfactory in 1905 and a complete description under such condi- 
tions would not do justice. Plants set in 1904 made a weak growth 
producing scarcely any runners, and the fruit in 1905, while good
