RASPBERRIES AND BLACKBERRIES. 



The raspberry crop wa.s only medium this year owing to the severe frost of INIay 9, 

 which injured the leaves and weakened the canes very much. A new plantation was 

 made in the autumn of 1901, consisting of 63 varieties. These made good growth this 

 summer and when vacancies occurred they were filled up. The Herbert raspberry, 

 originated by Mr. R. B. Whyte, Ottawa, Ont., again did weU. It and the Sarah, a seed- 

 ling originated by Dr. Wm. Saunders, were among those least affected by the spring 

 frost. These are two of the hardiest varieties which have been tested here. Marlboro 

 and Cuthbert are two of the best older commercial varieties. The Clarke is also a good 

 kind for home use. The crop of blackberries was light, though there was more fruit this 

 year than usual. 



CURRANTS. 



spring 



There was a good crop of currants this year, notwithstanding the severe 

 frosts which occurred when they were in full bloom. Tlie varieties in the new planta- 

 tion grew very well and many of the bushes fruited this year. Among red vai^ieties, 

 Wilder, Greenfield, Pomona and Fay's Prolific are four of the best for commercial pur- 

 poses, while Defiance and Benwell are promising. The Moore's Ruby and Earh^ Scarlet 

 ai-e two of the best for home use, being milder in flavour. In black Aarieties, the 

 Standard, Success, Climax, and Victoria are four of the best. The last named is not a 

 heavy cropper, but is very large. Topsy is very promising. Following is a description 

 of it
