RASPBERRIES. 



The season of 1901 was very unfavourable for raspberries in this district. Owing 

 to severe weather the canes were badly winter-killed ; the Cutbbert, which is the princi- 

 pal variety planted, being so much injured that there was practically no fruit of that 

 variety. Golden Queen appeared to be the tenderest, as there was not a cane left 

 of this variety. A seedling originated by Mr. R. B. Whyte, Ottawa, Ont., now called 

 Herbert, was quite hardy and it yielded the best at the farm this year. At the Ex- 

 perimental Farm the canes were bent down as usual, but it appeared to have no bene- 

 ficial effect. In the following table the yields for both 1900 and 1901 are given. The 

 yields this year show the relative hardiness of the varieties rather than their produc- 

 tiveness, some kinds not producing any fruit, and others very little.
