Those marked with an asterisk (*) possess merit; all others proved failures, although it is doubtful if any are now grown in this State: Selecta* Catania China Oval Candian* Lorretto Chio Early Spanish Paros Sabina Archipelago Parramatta Mitylene* Poor Man Tenedos Royal* Samos Chinese Oval Scio Belearic, or Ma Parakila Imperial* Kau lorea*.
