launders, page 114) whicli has been occasionally observed as an apparent 

 astray from the adjacent blackberry foliage. Its attacks upon the rasp- 

 berry foliage have been very limited. 



The crumpling of the foliage of most varieties of Idceus and strigosus, 

 which usually appears in summer, and often seriously affects the quality, 

 -especially of the later berries, is supposed to be the effect of a fungus. 

 It has appeared as usual. 



Anthracnose, although present, has not been especially troublesome, 

 i;hough enough so to prove the difficulty of its entire eradication, and 

 possibly to indicate that a more intimate acquaintance with its life history 

 may be needful to develop other and possibly more vulnerable points of 



'fluuHjCK.* 



The raspberries, in common with the entire plantation, were sprayed on 

 March 15, before vegetation had commenced, with a solution of one pound 

 -of copper sulphate in 25 gallons of water. This was followed, on IJ^ay 17, 

 with a spray of Bordeaux mixture of the usual strength. 



More or less uncertainty is found to exist, even among botanists, respect- 

 ing the species to which several varieties of raspberry should be assigned, 

 owing to alleged or suspected hybridization between species. Such uncer- 

 iiainty is indicated by an interrogation (?) and the variety is placed in 

 ^he class apparently most nearly in accord with its characteristics.
