WARFIELD This variety holds first place for productiveness among 350 varieties which have been under test at the Ontario Agriculture College for the past ten years. With the housekeeper it is a favorite canning variety because of its dark rich color. It is one of the most desirable varieties for general cultivation, where the soil is not too light and dry for its growth. Origin : a chance seedling, supposed to be a cross between Crescent and Wilson, foimd by B. C. Warfield of Southern Illinois. Plant : small, but a rampant grower and often makes too many runners, filling the rows too thickly. Succeeds best on moist soils, and in showery seasons ; often proves a failure on very dry soils, or in times of drouth. Blossoms early and requires an early bloom- ing bisexual variety, such as Splendid or Van Deman, to fertilize its blossoms ; very productive. Beery : medium size, very regular in shape, dark rich crim- son color ; firm, good shipper, and excellent for canning ; some- what acid, but good quality. Warfield. Season- : earlv to -nidseason, holds out well if season is favorable. Adapiatiom : does well w-herever the soil is not too light and dry. (Huti)..
