XP 64-2160 xwas rated highest for ease of snap- ping and Pencil Cob the loxwest, Table 5. Loxwer than nttrtnal temiperatures during May almost erasedl any differences in maturity dates. NP 72-1631 and NP 72- 1707 were the only varieties that inatured early . Mlost tof the varieties matured between 90 and 92 (lays. Pickling Cucumbers (Auiburn). Seed wxere planted crop and spaced 6 inches apart in 40-inch rows. Nine harvests were made for the spring crop beginning June 11 and ending July 9. Six harvests were made for the fall crop beginning Septemiber 27 and ending October 15. Tally, a black spine cucumber, produced the highest total marketable yield for the spring trial, Table 6. \\hen black spine cucumbers are grown during hot weather at Auburn they i)roduce fruits that have a high degree of yellow rather than white skin. When grown in the fall, with cool nights, black spine cucumbers develop skin color very similar to white spine varieties. N(CS t 76-C31 is a very promising line for our area. (:alypso and (Carolina are still performing well and ac- count for approximately 80 to 90 percent of our com- imercial acreage. AU!ll-4, an Alabama Agricultural Ex- p)erintent Station entry, produced average yields with good fruit and vine characteristics. Fall yields are generally reduced by low night temperatures that begin in late September and October. Carolina was the highest yielding variety in the fall trial. NCSU 76-G31 produced the highest length to diameter ratio for the slpringt crop and Saimpson for the fall crop. Most varieties had good to excellent internal features except EX 808 for the fall crop. Slicing Cucumbers (Cullman and Auburn). Seed were planted May 25 at Cullmnan and August 20 at Auburn. Seed were spaced 12 inches apart in 60-inch rows at Cullmnan and 6 inches apart in 40-inch rows at Auburn. Nine harvests were made at Cullman begin- ning July 8 and ending July 30. Six harvests were made at Auburn beginning September 28 and ending October 15. At Culhnan 2 varieties were grown on a trellis, Table 7. Sprint, trellised, was the highest yielding variety, producing 148 imore bushels on the trellis than on the ground. Victory also produced higher marketable yields when trellised. Average fruit size was larger at Auburn in the fall than at Cullmnan. Most varieties at (Cullnan had only fair color and shape. Victory and Sprint, trellis grown, were rated highest for fruit color. Victory, trellis grown, was rated highest for eye appeal. All the entries from Taiwan were rated very poor for eye appeal. The low rating was d(ue to their poor shape. XP' 871 was rated highest for uniformity , eye appeal, and color at Auburn. SC-4 was rated highest for fruit shape. Eggplant (Cullinan). Seed were planted in the greenhouse at Auburn March 18 and transplanted May 10. Plants were spaced 2 feet apart in 5-foot rows. Five harvests were made beginning July 8 and ending September 23. Midnite HIybrid produced the highest yield of marketable fruit, Table 8. Mission Belle and Superhybrid also produced well. Peerless Hybrid produced the highest number of marketable fruit per plant, Black Jack I Hybrid and Pompano Pride produced the largest fruits and Long Purple and Blacknite Hybrid produced the smallest fruits. Jersey King Hybrid and Black Magic lybrid, I lybrid No. 19, Black Beauty, and Albino were rated lowest. Long Purple was rated highest for having few to no spines. Peerless Ilybrid, Jersey King lHybrid, Pompano Pride, and Blacknite I lybrid were rated as having the most spines. Potatoes (Fairhope and Crossville). Seed potatoes were obtained from Frito-Lay Company, Baldwin County, Alabania; US)A, Beltsville, Maryland; Uni- versity of W\isconsin; Rhinelander, Starks Farms, Starks, \\isconsin; and frolm two local seed dealers in Alabamna. Seed were brought to Auburn and stored at 40 0 F. until planting time. Seed pieces were cut to ap- proximnately 1'2 ounces each, dipped for rot control in a solution of 1 pound of 60 percent Mertect WP in 50 gallons of water for 1 minute, air dried, calloused and presprouted at 55 0 F. for approximately 2 weeks. Seed were planted February 17 at Fairhope and March 2 at Crossville. Plots were harvested May 26 at Fairhope and June 29 at Crossville. At Fairhope, Atlantic (B6987- 56) was the highest yielding variety and also had the highest specific gravity, Table 9. This variety was nam- ed this year by the US)DA and has been tested for the past 3 years in Alabama. Atlantic has shown a high level of performance for marketable yield and specific gravity. This variety has the potential for replacing many of the white varieties presently grown in the State. Seed stocks are not plentiful at this time but should become more available by 1978. Red La Soda and La Rouge were the highest yielding red varieties and FL-162 was the highest yielding entry from Frito- Lay. Atlantic and FL-162 are high yielding and high solids potatoes in Baldwin County. Wisconsin 726 was the highest yielding entry from the University of W\isconsin. Yields for La Chipper, Norchip, and Superior varied depending upon the seed source. All varieties had good to excellent stands except B7679-9. At Crossville, Red La Soda and La Rouge were the highest yielding varieties, Table 10. FL-795 and FL-750 were the two highest yielding white varieites. Wiscon- sin 715 was the highest yielding variety from the Uni- versity of W\isconsin. Atlantic (B6987-56) did not yield as well this year as in the past but was rated highest for speciffi gravity. La Chipper, Norchip, and Superior yields were variable for the different seed sources. B7608-2 was the lowest yielding entry. Sweet Potatoes (Auburn, Clanton, and Cullmnan). Varieties and breeding lines were obtained from breeders in February and stored at 55 0 F. until bedding. Seed were presprouted at 85 0 F. and approximately 90 percent humidity for 2 weeks; treated with 8 ounces of Mertect 340-F plus 1 pound of Botran in 7.5 gallons of water for 1 minute and placed in electric heated beds. Roots of new introductions are limited, therefore, plant production was not sufficient for an adequate number of plants for planting at all locations. tober 26, at ( lanton June I and harvested October 6, and at Cullmnan May 21 and harvested October 13. Plants \\were spaced 12 inches apart in 44-inch rows at all locations. Yields were highly variable for the same variety at the different locations, Table 11. L1-207 at Auburn was the highest yielding. Jasper,LO-323 and Ti-1885 were also high yielding. Along with high yields,L1-207 and LO- :323 produced the highest yields of jumbo roots. Yields at Clanton were considerablv below what they were a year ago. Ti-1885 was the highest yielding. Yields at Cullman were also below a year ago but were accep- table for most varieties except M3-702. NC-320 at Auburn, LI-207 at Clanton, and NC-311 at Cullman produced the highest percent of U.S. No. 1 roots for each location. Several varieties produced above 60 per- cent '.S. No. I roots at Auburn. All varieties had good to excellent skin color except VP1-63 and M3-702. Yellow skin roots tend to distract from overall eye al)l)ppeal. Fresh Market Tomatoes (Fairhope, Clanton, and Cullman). Seed were planted in the greenhouse February 24 for Fairhope and Clanton and March 25 for (Cullman. Plants were transplanted April 6 at Fairhope, April 8 at Clanton, and May 10 at Cullman. Plants were spaced 15 inches apart in 5-foot rows at Fairhope and (Cullman. At Clanton, rows were spaced 8-feet. Plants were pruned and staked to a 2-leader system at Fairhope and the binder twine trellis method was used for staking at Clanton and Cullman. At Fairholpe, Terrific VFN was the highest yielding variety, Table 12. Better Boy VFN p)roduced the highest yield of 5X6 fruits and AUl-75-6 (Fi) produced the highest yeild of 6X7 fruits in the replicated trial. Fairholpe. Both are pink fruited and very similar in fruit characteristics. Traveler is the smoothest tomato in the trial and produced the lowest yield of cull fruits. Saturn is small fruited with only fair yields but is resistant to Southern Bacterial Wilt and can be grown in home gar- dens where bacterial xwilt is a problem. Catfacing and small size fruits accounted for most of the culls this year. Some cracking did occur in some varieties. AU- 76-:33 (F,), Monte Carlo and Tropic produced the highest yields of cull fruits. XP 802 was the highest yielding entry in the observational trial. Pink Delight also yielded well and has early maturity. XP 271 had a very poor plant type and is not adapted to Baldwin County. At Cluaton, Terrific VFN was the highest yielding variety, Table 13. Traveler and AU-76-6 (F() also produced good yields. Saturn was the lowest yielding variety. Cull yields were excessive for all varieties. Tropic produce(d the highest yield of culls and Traveler the lowest. Traveler and Bonnie Nematode Resistant were the earliest miaturing. At Culhnan, Better Boy VFN was the highest yielding, Table 14. Terrific VFN and Monte Carlo VFN also produced good yields. AU-76-33 (F 4 ) produced the lowest yield of marketable fruits and the highest yield of cull fruits. Traveler 76 and Traveler produced the lowest yields of culls. Catfacing was responsible for a high percent of culls. Bonus VFN, IHybrid 980 and Super Red Hybrid were the highest yielding in the obscrvational trial. Super Red H lybrid produced the highest yield of 5X6 fruits, Bonus VFN produced the highest yield of 6X6 fruits and I lybrid 980 produced the highest yield of 6X7 fruits. XP 271 had a poor plant type and appeared poorly adapted at Cullman. (;rowing Color 2 Shape Straight- Bean days ness" length I Sieve sizes' 2 3 4 5 Bu. \\S.
