1895, 9 clusters and in 1897, 25 clusters, which were likewise 
covered, set no fruit. In another locality, of 25 clusters which 
were likewise tested in 1897, 24 were rated 0, and 1 rated 40. 
Average rating 1.6. In view of these tests, Lindley may be called 
practically self-sterile. 
The following tests with Lindley in 1899 were made at Penn 
Yan: 
Inndley pollinated with Merrimack.— Three clusters which 

were tested produced no fruit. 
Inndley pollinated with Salem.— Five clusters which were 
tested gave no fruit. 
Inndley pollinated with Brighton.— Three clusters which were 
tested were rated 0, 0, 12, respectively, average rating 4. 
Inmndley pollinated with Catawba.— Five clusters which were 
tested were rated 40, 40, 55, 85, 95, respectively. Average rat- 
ing 63. 
Inndley pollinated with Worden.— Five clusters which were 
tested were rated 0, 50, 100, 100, 100, respectively. Average rat- 
ing 70. 
Lindley pollinated with Niagara.— Five clusters which were 
tested were rated 40, 70, 90, 90, 95, respectively, averaging 77. 
Lindley as a fertilizer.— Several tests were made with Lindley 
as a fertilizer for self-sterile sorts. The results are given in 
detail for Brighton, Eldorado, Herbert, Merrimack and Salem 
under the several discussions of these varieties. 
MERRIMACK. 
Merrimack self-pollinated.— In 1892, 2 clusters which were 
tested, gave no fruit. In 1895, 10 clusters; in 1897, 23 clusters, 
and in 1899, 3 clusters, which were likewise tested, gave no fruit. 
From these tests it appears that Merrimack is completely self- 
sterile. 
The following tests with Merrimack were made at Penn Yan: 
Merrimack pollinated with Salem.— Five clusters which were 
tested, were rated 0, 0, 0, 0, 4, respectively. Average rating 0.8.
