378 Report oF THE HORTICULTURIST OF THE 
HERCULES. 
Hercules self-pollinated.— In 1893, 4 clusters of Hercules 
which were kept covered during the blooming season, bore no 
fruit. In 1895, 10 clusters tested in like manner gave no fruit. 
In 1899, 1 cluster covered in like manner produced a well-formed 
cluster made up entirely of small, seedless fruits. 
Hercules pollinated with Brighton.— Two clusters were tested 
in a Station vineyard, one of which set no fruit, the other was 
filled with seedless fruits like the cluster described in the last 
paragraph. 
Hercules pollinated with Columbian Imperial.— Five clusters 
in a Station vineyard were tested. They were rated 20, 30, 30, 
40, 50, respectively, averaging 36. 
Hercules pollinated with Haton.— Five clusters in a Station 
vineyard were tested. They were rated 0, 0, 30, 70, 70, respec- 
tively, averaging 36. 
Hercules as a fertilizer.— Hercules was tried as a fertilizer for 
Barry. See page 370. 
JEFFERSON. 
Jefferson self-pollinated.— In 18938, 3 clusters of Jefferson were 
kept covered during the blooming season. They rated on the 
average about 95. In 1894, 4 clusters likewise tested were rated 
0, 100, 100, 100, respectively, averaging 75. In 1899, 7 clusters 
were covered on a vine which afterwards appeared to be not in 
a satisfactory condition for testing. These clusters were rated 
20, 20, 25, 45, 45, 60, 60, respectively, averaging 39.3. From 
these tests it appears that Jefferson is strongly selffertile when 
the vine is in good condition. 
Jefferson as a fertilizer.— Pollen from the vine which in 1899 
made the record which is given in the preceding paragraph, was 
tried on Brighton. See page 373. 
LINDLEY. 
Lindley self-pollinated.— In 1894, 10 clusters of Lindley, which 
were kept covered during the blooming season, set no fruit. In
