384 Report oF THE HorTICULTURIST OF THE 
rated 90, 5 rated 95, 2 rated 98 and 8 rated 100, respectively, 
averaging 93.7. At Penn Yan 20 clusters were likewise tested. 
Seven of these were rated 75, 90, 90, 95, 95, 95 and 98, re- 
spectively, and 13 were rated 100. The average was 96.9. 
From these tests it appears that Worden, generally, is strongly 
self-fertile. 
Ween as a fertirzer.— Several tests were made with Wor- 
den as a fertilizer for self-sterile sorts. The results in detail are 
given under Aminia, Black Eagle, Brighton, Eldorado, Herbert, 
Lindley, Merrimack and Salem. 
WYOMING. 
Wyoming self-pollinated.— In 1896, 10 clusters of Wyoming 
which were kept covered during the blooming season gave no fruit. 
In 1899, 4 clusters which were likewise tested at the Station were 
rated 0, 0, 0, 4, respectively. Average rating 1. At Highlands 
13 clusters were kept covered during the blooming season. Twelve 
of them set no fruit. The remaining cluster was well filled. It 
was on a shoot which had been bent in tying it to the trellis so 
that the flow of sap was somewhat checked. Before it had been 
rated it was taken by other parties. It would probably rank as 
high as 90. On the same vines the uncovered clusters which were 
exposed during the blooming season to cross-pollination were often 
well-filled, but sometimes loose and quite imperfectly filled clusters 
were found. 
At Highlands 6 clusters were hand-pollinated’ with Wyoming 
pollen taken from a vine in a Station vineyard. They rated 0, 0, 
5, 10, 25, 90, respectively.. Average rating 21.6. 
In view of all of these tests, it appears, that although Wyom- 
ing may sometimes produce a small amount of fruit when self- 
pollinated, for all practical purposes it may be ranked as self- 
sterile. 
The following tests were made in 1899 with Wyoming at High- 
lands:
