TERMS OF DISTRIBUTION. 
There are no restrictions upon recipients of plants as to further 
distribution of the varieties by sale or otherwise. If the fruits 
prove meritorious, it is desired that they be generally disseminated 
as quickly as possible. The only obligations asked of those who 
receive plants are that they keep the varieties true to name, give 
them good care, and that they report to the Station the behavior 
of the varieties. The Station will furnish blanks for reports. Re- 
ports will be asked for, not only once, but from time to time until 
the value of a variety for a locality is determined. Applicants 
should state that they will comply with the above conditions. 
The plants are furnished to accepted applicants and are packed 
without charge but the recipient must pay the expressage. Plants 
will not be sent by mail. Applicants must give both mail and 
express addresses. 
The Station can supply but comparatively few growers of small 
fruits of the State with the new varieties and reserves the right 
to make a choice of the growers to whom they will be sent as may 
be preferred. This choice will depend chiefly on priority of ap- 
plication and upon the number of applicants from a locality. We 
cannot furnish any of these varieties to citizens of other states. 
The number of plants of each variety that can be furnished 
to one person is 6 for the raspberries and 12 for the strawberries. 
It is desired that a person receiving any should receive all of the 
varieties of each or both fruits that a comparative test may be made 
of them. 
An applicant should state whether or not he is growing’ either 
or both of the fruits in a commercial way as it is not the wish 
to send the new sorts to those who are not growing standard kinds 
with which they may be compared. 
Since there are comparatively few plants for general distribution, 
those who want them for home use only, or to grow them out of 
curiosity, or because they can be had for nothing, are asked not to 
apply. | 
This Station does not invite application for plants, scions or 
seeds other than those specifically offered through its publica- 
tions. Generally we cannot furnish them. 
Address all correspondence regarding these new fruits to Hortt- 
cultural Department, New York Agicultural Experiment Station, 
Geneva, N. Y.
