Tennessean is an early berry, resembling Blakemore somewhat but a little longer and more pointed. The plant growth is very vigorous, probably equalling Blakemore. Tests in Tennessee indicate that Tennes- sean outyields Blakemore, is very good lor freezing and is an equally good shipping berry. We fruited Tennessean for the first time in 1952. We found it moderately productive, probably not quite equal to Blakemore but with very nice looking marketable berries. They were firm enough to be excellent shippers. We have an excellent stock of plants.

In quality Albritton berries are better than Blakemore or Pre- mier, although not quite as good as Fairfax and Massey. Albritton was originated and tested at the North Carolina Experiment Station in co- operation with the and was re- leased for introduction in 1952. In North Carolina, where it is particularly well adapted, Albritton is the outstanding berry, supplanting Massey in many sections. In Maryland, where we saw it fruiting in 1953. it was very fine and worthy of more exten- sive planting for commercial shipment. While it has not been tried over a wide area, Albritton should be a money maker wher- ever Blakemore has been grown success- fully. Our Albritton plants are "virus free&quo
