sufficiently tested at this Station to determine its value but appears 
to be rather tender in this locality. 
Ohmer.—(N. H. Albaugh, Tadmore, O.) Introduced over ten 
years ago by E. Y. Teas, Irvington, Ind. Plants moderately vig- 
orous, canes rather large with but few prickles, winter injury from 
Io to 20 per ct. during the past three years, moderately productive. 
Fruit above medium, roundish, grains large, juicy, rather acid even 
when fully ripe, good flavor and quality. Although not as pro- 
ductive as some varieties, has made a fairly good record at this 
Station, 
Reyner.—(S. R. Alexander, Bellefontaine, O.) Plants vigor- 
ous, healthy, canes large, tinged with green, covered with few 
prickles, winter injury from io to 30 per ct. during the past three 
years, not very productive. Fruit medium to above, roundish or 
slightly elongated, grains large, rather sweet when fully ripe, good 
flavor and quality. As fruited at this Station, hardly productive 
enough to be a good commercial variety. 
Taylor.—An old variety received from several sources for 
testing at this Station. Said to have originated in Indiana over 
twenty years ago. Plants vigorous to very vigorous, canes pale 
green with slight tinge of red and covered with numerous slender 
prickles, usually hardy, not very productive. Fruit small to 
medium, usually slightly elongated, rather sweet when fully ripe, 
very good flavor and quality. Ripens about two weeks later than 
Snyder. Although of excellent quality and hardy, is not as pro- 
ductive as Snyder and does not appear to be as desirable for this 
locality as some of the other well known varieties. 
Wachusett.—An old variety which has never become very 
popular in this State. Said to be one of the most hardy varieties ; 
found growing wild on Mt. Wachusett. Plants moderately vig- 
orous, canes medium size, purplish red when fully mature, cov- 
ered with small scattering prickles, hardy, usually not productive. 
Fruit small to medium, roundish or slightly elongated, juicy, sweet, 
good flavor and quality. Is not productive enough to be of much 
value in this section.
