RASPBERRIES. 



The varieties of sub-section 1 are not used for market purposes, but on 

 account of their superior flavor they are valued for home consumption in 

 the southern part of the state. 



Of those in sub-section 2, Shaflfer seems to be the only one that is fav- 

 ored. The berries are large and are produced abundantly, but their dull 

 color and peculiar flavor are against them. In sub-section 3, Palmer 

 seems to be the favorite for early, and Gregg for late, although Conrath, 

 Ohio, and Souhegan had many votes. The Hansell and Marlboro seem to 

 be well liked as early red sorts, and Cuthbert is universally favored for 

 late. Turner is liked in the northern section because of its superior hardi- 

 ness. Crimson Beauty seems also to succeed in some localities if planted 

 with other kinds that can fertilize it.

STRAWBERRIES.

were very few votes for kinds that have been introduced less than ten 



years. In addition to those mentioned in the list there were a few votes 



for Enhance, Greenville, Beverly, Marshall, Shuckless, and Tirnbrell, but
