in flavor and quality, was abnormal in color and shape. When well 
grown it is desirable on account of large size, attractive color and 
good flavor and quality. 
_ Goldsborough.—(A. T. Goldsborough, Wesley Heights, Wash- 
ington, D. C.) Imp. Originated by Mr. Goldsborough and intro- 
duced by him in 1903. It is a cross between a wild berry and the 
British Queen. Plants very few, rather vigorous, not very produc- 
tive. Leaves large, rather light green; leaf stems long, stout. Fruit 
stems moderately long, thick, usually double. Comes in bloom 
May 19. Calyx large, leafy, rather pale green. Seeds rather large, 
slightly raised. Fruit above medium to large, retaining its size till 
close of season, blunt pointed, roundish conic to slightly wedge, 
rather unattractive pale or dull scarlet. Flesh good color, firm, 
agreeable mild acid, good in flavor and quality. Picks easily. 
Although this variety is very satisfactory in size, firmness, flavor 
and quality, the color is so unattractive that it is doubtful if it will 
prove popular as a commercial variety. 
Hunn.— (From bed in Station grounds.) Imp. Originated at 
this Station during the winter of 1889-90. Plants moderately nu- 
merous, moderately vigorous, not very productive. Leaves medium 
size, dark green; leaf stems short, moderately thick. Fruit stems 
short, stout, usually single. Comes in bloom June 1. Calyx large, 
leafy, usually set in a slight depression. Fruit above medium to 
very large, blunt roundish conic to slightly wedge, very dark glossy 
scarlet. Flesh good color, firm, juicy, good to very good in flavor 
and quality. One of the latest varieties. ‘This variety has been 
tested in many parts of the State but has never become very popu- 
lar. On most soils it has proved unproductive and the foliage has 
been severely attacked by leaf blight. It does not retain its size 
well during the later pickings.
