Size of fruit.— At the first picking of each variety, the size of the 
berries was noted and this record compared with the size of the fruit 
at each succeeding picking. Many of the varieties of good quality 
and attractive color were deficient in size throughout the season. 
Others produced fruit of excellent size at first, which later de- 
creased greatly. Still others retained a satisfactory size to the close 
of the season, a most desirable character for a good commercial 
variety. The fact must not be overlooked, however, that size is not 
the only factor to be considered, for some varieties were unat- 
tractive in color or undesirable in shape although of excellent size. 
The following list of thirty-eight varieties retained their size fairly 
well throughout the season. 
DESIRABLE SIZE THROUGHOUT SEASON.
