New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 437 
Chautauqua.— (K. E. Downer, Forestville, N. Y.) Plants of 
this variety were received for testing in the spring of 1903, fruit- 
ing for the first time in 1905. Winter injury from 5 to Io per ct. 
during the past two years. Plants vigorous, stocky, rather produc- 
tive. Fruit large, inclined to roundish, attractive black color, grains 
large, rather agreeable acid when fully ripe, good flavor and quality. 
Has not yet been sufficiently tested to determine its value but 
appears to be promising. 
Clark.— (M. Crawford Co., Cuyahoga Falls, O.) Received at 
this Station for testing in the spring of 1897. Plants vigorous, 
making a very satisfactory growth, winter injury from 0 to 50 per 
ct. during the past five years, moderately productive to rather pro- 
ductive. Fruit late in ripening, below medium to above medium 
in size, nearly round to slightly elongated, moderately acid, rather 
soft, no more than good in flavor and quality. Does not appear 
to be as valuable as standard varieties like Agawam, Mersereau, 
etc., as the fruit is variable both in size and shape while the color 
is rather unattractive dull black. 
Eldorado.—(Birdseye & Son, Stanley, N. Y.) A chance seed- 
ling found near Eldorado, Ohio, and introduced about 1882. Plants 
have been received from various places for testing. Moderately 
vigorous to vigorous with numerous large prickles, moderately pro- 
ductive to productive. Appears to be one of the hardiest at this 
Station averaging in 6 years from 5 to 25 per ct. winter injury 
with no injury during four years. Fruit medium to large, roundish 
to slightly elongated, sweet, juicy, good color, mild when fully ripe, 
fair to good in flavor and quality. Has made a good record in many 
parts of the State as a commercial variety. 
Florence.—(G. E. Goldsmith, Unionville, N. Y.) A seedling 
of unknown parentage found by Mr. Goldsmith in 1895. Received 
at this Station for testing in the spring of 1902, fruiting for the 
first time in 1904. Growth rather vigorous, winter injury varied 
from I5 to 75 per ct. during the past two years, appears rather pro- 
ductive. Fruit variable in size, medium to very large, usually 
roundish, sometimes slightly elongated, rather attractive color, 
grains rather large, juicy, not a mild berry even when fully ripe, 
possibly good but not high in flavor or quality. Has not yet been
