Mr. Waldron: What do you think the male parent was of the red grape?
Mr. Haralson: I couldn't say. We don't know what the cross is.
Mr. Waldron: Did you have any red grapes growing there?
Mr. Haralson: I presume there were quite a number of varieties growing near by. In the Beta seedlings we find a number of grapes that ripen green and also some black and a number red, but not a great many, I would say from five to seven per cent of the seedlings.
Mr. Wellington: Have you been able to cross the European plum with the Japanese?
Mr. Haralson: We have one or two varieties, but the fruit is very small, the fruit isn't very much larger than the Compass cherry. The tree is a very strong grower and makes a large tree, but the fruit is not up to what it should be.
Mr. Cook: What number do you hold that red grape under?
Mr. Haralson: The red grape is No. 1.
Mr. Sauter: Which is the next best raspberry besides the No. 4?
Mr. Haralson: I couldn't tell you at present. I thought the No. 2, but from reports I have had from several places some think No. 1 is better. No. 4 is the best of them all so far.
