Latest.—(Flansburgh & Potter, Leslie, Mich.) Imperfect. 
Originated in 1895 by S. H. Warren, Weston, Massachusetts, and 
introduced by him in 1900. It is a seedling obtained by crossing 
Jewell and Belmont. Plants with few if any runners, of medium 
vigor, healthy, below medium in productiveness Leaves medium 
to below in size, of average greenness; leaf stems somewhat short, 
slender. Fruit stems short to medium, of fair thickness, semi-pros- 
trate, not well protected from the sun. Blooms in midseason, 
ripens slightly after midseason, picks easily. Calyx medium to 
above in size, rather leafy, slightly raised. Seeds slightly sunken. 
Fruit large to medium, very irregular in shape, unattractive light 
and: dark dull scarlet. Flesh whitish, moderately firm, mildly acid, 
of fair quality. Undesirable in shape and unattractive in color. 
Magnus.—Originated on Station grounds in 1899 and dissemi- 
nated by this Station in the spring of 1908. Parentage, Hunn X 
Marshall. The following description is taken from Bulletin No. 
298 (March, 1908) of this Station supplemented by notes taken 
during the past season. Blossoms imperfect. Plants medium to 
numerous, medium to above in height, productive. Leaves large, 
attractive dark green, attacked slightly by leaf blight in unfavorable 
seasons; leaf stems medium in length, thick. Fruit stems of aver- 
age length, variable in thickness, usually double, prostrate. Blooms 
late, ripens in midseason, picks easily. Calyx large and leafy, dark 
green, set in a slight depression. Seeds raised, often dark colored. 
Fruit above medium to very large, retains its size well as the sea- 
son advances, roundish conic to slightiy elongated and with pointed 
apex, light to very dark scarlet, showing Hunn blood, variable in 
color unless well ripened. Flesh rather light at center, firm, juicy, 
mildly acid, good to very good flavor and quality. The growth and 
color of foliage closely resemble Marshall, while the color of the 
fruit is that of the Hunn. When well colored, this variety ranks 
among the very best in size, attractiveness, and quality. It is 
thought that the Magnus will prove a very valuable new sort for 
home use. Its variable color is somewhat against it for the market. 
One of the most attractive of over fifty varieties fruited in 1908.
