DESCRIPTION OF VARIETIES. 
In the following descriptions the source of the plants tested is: 
indicated by the names in parentheses following the names of 
varieties. Most of the historical information was secured directly 
from the originators or introducers. 
Abington.— (W. F. Allen, Salisbury, Md.) Perfect. A chance 
seedling originated in 1895 by Lester Blanchard, Abington, Massa- 
chusetts, and introduced by him in 1905. Plants many in number, 
strongly vigorous, subject to attacks of leaf blight, very productive. 
Leaves large, dark green; leaf stems long, variable in thickness, 
Fruit stems long, thick, usually double, medium erect. Blooms 
medium early, ripens slightly before midseason, picks easily. Calyx 
of medium size, flat or often on a short neck, sometimes slightly dis- 
colored. Seeds somewhat sunken. Fruit large, wedge to roundish 
conic or sometimes slightly elongated, attractive light scarlet. Flesh 
rather light colored, moderately firm, mildly acid, fair to good in 
quality. Retains size well throughout the season. Not of highest 
quality or firmness but worthy of trial on account of productiveness 
and general attractiveness. 
Advance.— (W. F. Allen, Salisbury, Md.) Perfect. Introduced 
about 1904 by Arthur B. Printz of Indiana. Plants very numerous, 
vigorous, healthy, above medium in productiveness. Leaves 
medium to above in size, light green; leaf stems rather long, slender. 
Fruit stems long, medium to slender, single, prostrate. Blooms and 
ripens early, picks easily. Calyx small to medium, not leafy, dis- 
*Make few runners. Should be set closer.
