New Yorx AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 381 
rated 30, 40, 50, 60, 60, 60, 70, 80, 80, 80, 80, 100, averaging 
65.8. 
In 1899, 16 Niagara clusters at Highlands were likewise tested. 
They were rated 85, 90, 90, 90, 93, 98, 93, 95, 95, 98, 100, 100, 
100, 100, 100, 100, respectively, averaging 95.1. At Penn Yan, 
20 clusters which were likewise tested, were rated 65, 80, 88, 90, 
90, 90, 95, 95, 95, 95, 95, 98, 98, 98, 98, 98, 98 100, 100, 100, 
respectively, averaging 93.3. 
Taking all these tests into consideration it appears that gen- 
erally Niagara is strongly self-fertile. 
Niagara as a fertilizer.— Several tests were made with Niagara 
as a fertilizer for self-sterile sorts. The results in detail are given 
under Aminia, Brighton, Eldorado, Herbert, Lindley, Merri- 
mack and Salem. 
ROCHESTER. 
Rochester self-pollinated.— In 1894, 10 clusters of Rochester, 
which were kept covered during the blooming season, all gave 
very compact and perfect clusters of fruit. One cluster, which 
was likewise tested in 1899, gave a perfect cluster of fruit, rated 
at 100. From these tests it appears that Rochester is perfectly 
self-fertile. 
Rochester as a fertilizer.— It was tried as a fertilizer for 
Brighton. See page 373. 
SALEM. 
Salem self-pollinated.—‘In 1892, 10 clusters of Salem, which 
were kept covered during the blooming season, set no fruit. In 
1897, 23 clusters in one locality, and 5 clusters in another, which 
were likewise tested, gave no fruit. Irom these tests it appears 
that Salem is completely self-sterile. 
The following tests with Salem were made in 1899 at Penn 
Yan: 
Salem pollinated with Brighton.— Three clusters which were 
‘tested produced no fruit. 
Salem pollinated with Herbert.— Five clusters which were 
tested gave no fruit.
