Four clusters tested at 

Brighton pollinated with Merrimack. 
Penn Yan were rated respectively 0, 0, 0, 100. Average rating 25. 
Since Merrimack is self-sterile, and because in the other tests it

tests on Brighton it failed to fertilize three of the four clusters 
upon which it was tried, while the fourth cluster was rated 100, 
it is desirable that these tests be repeated before definite conclu- 
sions are drawn. Similar results, however, were obtained by pol- 
linating Brighton with Herbert, and Herbert like Merrimack is 
self-sterile. :
