Curtis No. 154, 8. (From B. O. Curtis, Paris, Iils., 1892.) 
Stems long; foliage slightly burned in the hot, dry weather at 
the beginning of the fruiting season; runners abundant. Fruit 
medium to large, good quality, firm. More productive than 
Crescent but less productive than Sharpless here.

not very long, runners not abundant, foliage good. Fruit medium

Dayton Early, g, (From Sam’l Kinsey & Co., Kinsey, Ohio.) 
Medium early; fruiting season lasted about ea weeks., Fruit 
symmetrical, of good scarlet color, medium to large, moderately 
firm, very good in quality with slight Alpine flavor. Stem short; 
foliage good ; runners but moderately abundant and hence the 
variety is not very productive on our soil. 
DandD,S. (Lrom Prof. EF. S. Goff, Madison, Wis.) Mid- 
season; medium to large; fair quality; firm. Foliage burned 
quite badly in the very hot, dry weather at the opening of the 
fruiting season. Runners but moderately abundant on our soil 
and hence the variety is unproductive in matted row. | 
Dew, 8. (From D. Brandt, Bremen, Ohio.) Midseason to 
late; fruiting season lasted nearly three weeks. Foliage first 
class; fruit large, often irregular in form, of fair quality and soft.

but the yield is somewhat better than with that variety on our 
soil.

Edwards’ Favorite, 8. (from ft. S. Edwards, Highlands, 
Colo.) Midseason to late; foliage fair to good; runners abun- 
dant; stems good; fruit medium to large, good scarlet color, soft. 
Plants moderately productive on our soil, giving better yield 
than either Sharpless or Manchester. Judging from this its first 
season of fruiting at this station Edward’s Favorite seems to be 
worthy of extended trial as an amateur fruit of late season. The 
fruit was in excellent condition at the time of its last picking, 
July fourteenth. It is not firm enough to ship to distant 
markets. |
