Poscharsky No. 9 June 29 



Palmer is a well tested and standard early variety. Pioneer is 

 a newer introduction but has been quite satisfactory on our grounds. 

 This season it takes first rank as to total yield and stands second in 

 the amount of early fruit produced. Cromwell is well liked in 

 many localities as an early berry. Lawrence was mentioned in 

 last season's report as being worthy of farther testing. It was 

 only moderately productive this year. Poscharsky No. 9 is no 

 improvement over many known sorts. 



LATE BLACK RASPBERRIES. 



The close of midseason for black raspberries may be regarded 

 as occurring on July 15. All varieties that bore a fourth or more 

 of their fruit after this date may be called late. These varieties 

 are arranged below in Table 6.
