New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION, 433 
black color, moderately firm, mild subacid, lacking in flavor and 
quality. Does not appear to be desirable. 
Mills.—(Charles Mills, Fairmount, N.Y.) <A _ seedling of 
Gregg crossed by Tyler, originating with Mr. Mills. Plants vig- 
orous to very vigorous, winter injury from o to 15 per ct. for the 
past four years, productive. Fruit above medium to large, firm, 
rather dull black with considerable bloom; good flavor and quality. 
A desirable kind for commercial purposes. 
Mohler.— (D. M. Mohler & Co., New Paris, O.) Originated 
as a seedling of Eureka by Mr. Mohler. This variety was quite fully 
described in the annual reports of this Station for 1894 and 1895, 
and appeared at that time to be worthy of extended trial on account 
of its size and productiveness. It has continued to make a good 
record at this station, and is considered worthy of testing where 
it has not yet been tried. It ranks among the earliest ripening 
varieties. 
Ohio.— An old well known variety received from various sources 
for testing at this Station. Fifteen years ago this was one of the 
most popular of commercial varieties, but it is being sttperseded 
by better kinds. It is still being grown, however, in certain parts of 
the State for drying purposes. 
Older.—An old variety received from various sources for test- 
ing at this Station. Found growing wild in the garden of Mr. 
Older, Independence, Ia, in 1872, and introduced by L. K. Ballard, 
Warren, Ill. Plants vigorous, moderate amount of winter injury, 
moderately productive. Fruit variable in size, ranging from medium 
to large, moderately’ firm, moderately juicy, slightly acid, good 
flavor and quality. Hardly equal to such varieties as Mills or 
Cumberland. 
Onondaga.—(Charles Mills, Fairmount, N. Y.) A seedling of 
Gregg crossed by Tyler, originating in 1884 with Mr. Mills. Plants 
vigorous to vigorous, winter injury from 0 to 15 per ct. during the 
past five years, productive to moderately productive. Fruit large, of 
attractive black color, firm or nearly so, good flavor and quality. ‘Uhis 
variety has many good points which commend it for commercial 
purposes.
