[t will be noted that for 1895 the New Bovee seedling gives con- 
siderably the largest yield (405.7) of any variety tested. Following 
this variety in the order of their production are: Early Kvereti, 
350.5; New Queen, 338; Freeman, 429.6; Pennsylvania Best, 327.73 
Carman No. 1, 322.5; Karly A, 3142, and Early Maine, 306.5. 
When the average yield for the past two years (1804-5) is taken, 
the order in which they stand ys considerably changed. This coluinun 
shows that nine varieties have given an average yield of over 30 
bushels per acre, viz., Eayvly Everett, 245.2 bushels; Early Maine, 
226.7; Early A, 226.3; Pénnsylvania Best, 225.7; Stoneroad No. 2, 
219.6; Freeman, 219.5; ANew Queen, 219; Rural New Yorker No. 2, 
211.6, and Ben Harryson, 208. Seven of the varieties tested this 
year were not tested in 1894 and could, therefore, not be taken into 
this average. 
The eyes on some were very much deeper set than on others. 
Among the varieties having very shallow set eyes and in which there 
would be vew little waste in paring may be mentioned the Rural 
New Yorkér No. 2 Freeman and Brownell’s Winner. These 
varieties Make a very nice appearance and would be good sellers. 
The size/of the Rural New Yorker No. 2 runs more uniform than il 
any of the other varieties.
