Early Cascade and Four \\ ay Hybrid wxere the latest varieties to reach peak harvest. Data on plant heights and fruit characteristics for the Fairhope trial, table 7, show that Big Girl and Better Boy VFN were the tallest growing and Baron the shortest growing variety. All varieties were red firuited except for Early Cascade, which had mixed fruit of pink and red color. Flora-Dade, Count, Walter PF, Walter, and Sunny produced globe-shaped fruits. Early Cascade produced mixed fruit shapes. Terrific VFN, Boniie Nematode Resistant, and Better Boy VFN produced soft fruits. All the other entries were very finn or firm. All entries were rated smooth to slightly rough except XP 2041. Eleven varieties were rated as commercial shipping types and all others were rated for honme gar- den or roadside and other direct marketing use. CLANTON. Seed were planted in the greenhouse at Auburn University March 3, and transplanted April 13 at a 15-inch spacing in 8-foot rows. Seven harvests were made beginning June 23 and endling August 6. Early Cascade produced the highest yield of marketable fruits, table 8, but most of its yield was small fruits between 1 and 2 inches in diameter. No size arrange- ment could be made. Sunny was the highest yielding large-fruited variety. It also produced the highest yield of large (5 x 6), medium (6 x 6), and small (6 x 7) size fruits. Marketable yields of the other varieties at Clan- ton were fair to poor. High quantities of culls were produced this year from cracks and fruits that were too small for acceptable market sizes. Extremely hot teinm- peratures occurred during fruit development and perhaps contributed to the high amounts of culls. All varieties reached peak harvest on June 23, June 30, or July 7 except for Duke, table 9. Tempo, Bigset, Bonnie Nematode Resistant, Calypso, Florainerica, Count, Walter Villemarie, and Contessa reached peak harvest on the first harvest. This early peak harvest perhaps reflects the adverse hot climatic conditions that existed this year at Clanton. Sunny, Flora-Dade, Calypso, Four Way Hybrid, Count, Walter Villemarie, and Duke were rated as commercial shipping varieties, table 10. These varieties also can be used for either home garden or roadside and other direct marketing. CULLMAN. Seed were planted in the greenhouse at Auburn University March 27, and plants were trans- planted April 29 at a 15-inch spacing in 5-foot rows. Fifteen harvests were made beginning July 7 and end- ing August 14. Eighteen replicated varieties and eight ()b,) \ ttl\ li -l I t rll ri , \\.I. , I l 1 I(. tab l ). 11.

Variety 7718 VF produced the highest ield of large (5 x 6) fruits, Flora-Dlade the highest yield of mediin (6 x 6) fruits, and AU 76 FMN produced the highest yield of small (6 x 7) fruits. All the other varieties produced good marketable yields. Total cull weights wxere somewhat high and may reflect the extreme heat occur- ring during June and Jul\y. Cracks, catfacing, and other blemishes accounted for most of the cull yield. Blossom end-rot was low for all varieties except Big Girl and Contessa. In the observational entries, PSH 38179 produced the highest total marketable yield and the highest yield of large (5 x 6) fruits in both tests. XP 2032 A and l1oadside Red also produced good yiclds of marketable frulits. Roadside Red produced the highest yield of( nmdium (6 x 6) and small (6 x 7) fruits. (Culls were also high for the observatiomal entries, with cracks, catfaciig, and others accounting for most of' the culls. All olbserva- tional entries produced low yields (of blossonm end-rot except PSR 20878 and XP 2032 A. Early Cascade was the earliest maturing variety, table 12. It also reached peak yields first and contimned producing peak yields for three harvest dates, July 14, 17, and 20. The first harvest for Sunny, Tempo, and Florainerica was July 17, later than all of' the othe'r varieties. Eleven varieties reached peak harvest on July 27 and some continued for two or (more harvest dates. Sunny had a peak harvest for four harvest dates, more than any other variety . Early Cascade was har- vested over the entire harvest period. Spring Set I lyb- rid had the shortest harvest period of all entries. Big Girl produced the tallest plant type and Baron the shortest, table 13. All varieties produced red colored fruits except Early Cascade, which produced fruits that were mixed red and pink. Fruit shape was variable f)r the different varieties. Fruit firmness was rated into three categories by examination and feel of each varicty at pink and/or red ripe maturit y. Eye appeal was rated by the overall appearance of fruit before sizing and grading were done. Varieties were also rated for their potential use in home gardens, roadside markets, and other direct mar- keting or commercial shipping. Those designated "3" would have potential for all three uses. However, en- tries rated home garden and roadside use ("11" and "2") should be studied carefully before any plantings for shipping are made. \ t : Ii ':"., 1 1 % [ 1 [ , , . 11 1 M1ai ketalIde .cI 1 hl t, Fllc\ F'aiieX , 1otaI, o totali A\X iiage fi Itit L~engthi Iianntei C'olor '.' eight I Ian e'.t 4 SttInkd at (I , rit XIgor ('it Uit:t.
