New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 3877 
EHumelan pollinated with Black Hagle.— Two clusters tested at 
the Station gave no fruit. The work was done on the fifth day 
after Eumelan came into full bloom, and the treated clusters may 
have been too far advanced in bloom to give favorable results from 
cross-pollination. These tests should be repeated. 
HERBERT. 
Herbert self-pollinated.— In 1892, 2 clusters of Herbert which 
were kept covered during the blooming season gave no fruit. 
In 1895, 5 clusters and in 1899, 9 clusters, which were likewise 
tested, gave no fruit. So far as tested, Herbert has been found 
self-sterile. 
The following tests with Herbert in 1899 were made at Penn 
Yan: 
Herbert pollinated with Brighton.— One cluster which was 
tested gave no fruit. 
Herbert pollinated with Eldorado.— Four clusters which were 
tested gave no fruit. 
Herbert pollinated with Lindley.— Five clusters which were 
tested gave no fruit. 
Herbert pollinated with Merrimack.— Five clusters which were 
tested gave no fruit. 
Herbert pollinated with Salem.— Four clusters which were 
tested gave no fruit. 
Herbert pollinated with Worden.— Five clusters which were 
tested were rated respectively 95, 95, 95, 100, 100. Average rat- 
ing 97. 
Herbert pollinated with Niagara.— Four clusters which were 
tested were rated respectively 95, 100, 100, 100. Average rating 
98.8. 
Herbert pollinated with Catawba.— Two clusters which were 
tested were rated respectively 100, 100. Average rating 100. 
Herbert as a fertilizer.— Herbert was tried as‘a fertilizer on 
three self-sterile sorts, Brighton, Eldorado and Salem. See pages 
372, 375, 381, respectively.
