flavor, good to very good in quality. The few plants fruiting would 
indicate an early season. The color of fruit is the darkest of all 
the varieties described in this bulletin. Not enough plants for a 
satisfactory test. 
Arnouts.—(W. F. Allen, Salisbury, Md.) Perfect to semi-per fect. 
Originated by J. R. Arnout of Pennsylvania. Plants medium in 
number and vigor, susceptible to attacks of leaf blight, very pro- 
ductive, yielding at the rate of 14,409 quarts per acre. Leaves of 
average size and color; leaf stems medium in length, rather slender. 
Fruit stems medium to long, inclined to thick, prostrate. Blooms 
and ripens in midseason, picks medium easily. Calyx medium to 
small, often discolored, slightly depressed. Seeds numerous, some- 
what sunken, slightly hairy. Fruit large to medium, wedge to 
roundish conic, surface irregularly furrowed, rather dull dark scar- 
let. Flesh medium red, firm, mildly acid, quality good. Irregular 
in shape, inclined to green tips, seedy appearance, dull, unattractive, 
wrinkled surface. Chief value appears to be productiveness. 
Blaine.— (J. W. Blaine, Polk City, Iowa.) Semi-perfect to 
perfect. Originated by Mr. Blaine in 1902, and first sent out in 
1907. Thought to be a cross of Beder Wood and Lovett as the 
original plant was found in a patch of these varieties. Plants 
numerous, vigorous, subject to mildew, below medium in productive- 
ness. Leaves of medium size and color, inclined to curl on account 
of mildew. Leaf stems long, medium to thick. Fruit stems long, 
inclined to thick, somewhat erect. Blooms and ripens late, picks 
easily. Calyx large, leafy, attractive green, flat to raised. Seeds 
raised, numerous. Fruit large to medium, retains size well through- 
out the season, blunt, roundish conic, medium to light attractive 
scarlet. Flesh medium red, very firm, pleasant acid, agreeable 
flavor, very good in quality. Some berries rather light in color. 
Worthy of further testing. Flesh characters desirable. 
Bountiful.— (J. E. Kuhns, Cliffwood, N. J.) Perfect. First 
fruited in 1899 by Mr. Kuhns and introduced by him in the spring 
of 1908. Said to be a seedling of Glen Mary probably crossed 
with Clyde. Plants numerous, vigorous, susceptible to attacks of 
leaf blight, above medium in productiveness. Leaves rather large, 
medium dark green. Leaf stems above medium in length, inclined 
to slender. Fruit stems medium to short, variable in thickness. 
Blooms early in midseason, ripens slightly before midseason, picks
