506 Report of the Horticulturist of the 



early red. raspberries. 



The greater portion of the crop of red raspberries was picked 

 between the dates of July 7 and July 22. Those varieties that 

 ripened a large share of their crop before July 7 may be called 

 early for this season. Table 7 shows that four varieties ripened 

 30 per cent or more of their crop before this date. These have 

 been arranged below in Table 8.

dine yielded a larger portion of its crop early than any other 

 variety but its total yield is low and its fruiting season is com- 

 paratively short. Pomona and Marlboro are very similar in many 

 respects but the former has always given a larger yield on our 

 grounds. Superlative yields fruit of largest size but is very un- 

 productive on our grounds. 



LATE RED RASPBERRIES. 



All varieties that yield 30 per cent or more of their crops after 

 July 22, the date assumed as the close of midseason, have been 

 classed as late for this season. They are given in Table 9.
