Rancocas had yielded forty-seven per cent of its crop and several 
other sorts had yielded a considerable portion of their crop. See 
table IX, p. 651. 
Harris. (“rom Z. H. Harris, Rochester, N. Y., 1889.) Vig- 
orous but dwarf canes of strigosus type. Fruit medium to large, 
moderately pulpy and juicy, firm, fine flavor, very good quality, 
nearly sweet. So far as tested here its fruit keeps better after 
being picked than does Cuthbert. Further testing will be neces- ° 
sary to compare it with other standard sorts as to productiveness 
and season of ripening. 
_ Lost Rubies. An old variety now generally discarded. On 
the station grounds it has been neither hardy nor productive. Its 
blossoms appear to be practically incapable of fertilizing them- 
selves. Turner and Brandywine are said to fertilize Lost. Rubies 
so that it will produce satisfactory crops. We have not tested 
this claim. 
Meredith Queen. Introduced about ten years ago by E. J. 
Brownell, Franklin, N. Y., from whom we received it. Canes 
sucker freely, and are vigorous but not hardy. Fruit medium : 
size, reddish salmon color, juicy, moderately firm, good. Season 
late; pla: ts not very productive. ; 
Miller’s Woodland. Suckers freely. Canes moderately vigor- 
ous, hardy, strigosus type. Fruit bright crimson, medium size, 
not juicy, firm, good quality; midseason to late. It does not 
rank high either in productiveness or as a late berry. 
Montclair. A chance seedling on the grounds of E. and J.C. 
Williams, Montclair, N. J. Fruit medium to large, juicy, moder- 
ately firm, mild subacid, pleasant flavor, good quality. Plants 
moderately productive this season. So far as tested here it has 
proved inferior to standard varieties. | 
Naomi. Originated in the garden of Gov. Wood, Cleveland, 
O., and introduced by Chas. Carpenter, Kelley Island, O., from 
whom the station received it in 18*6. The plants have several 
times been quite seriously injured by the winter. The canes and 
foliage show indications of /dwus blood. Growth vigorous. Fruit 
large, soft, mild subacid but nearly sweet when very ripe, juicy, 
pleasant flavor, good quality. Nanks tenth in yield for 1893,
