Princeton Chief and Topeka possess the above qualities and are recom- 

 mended for the purpose named. Bubach, Crescent, Haverland and War- 

 field are yet the leadinoj imperfect flowering sorts planted by the general 

 grower. Beder Wood, Sharpless, Wilson and Woolverton are excellent 

 pollenizers for the above sorts and are also valuable market berries. 

 Belle, Gandy and Parker Earle are among the best late ripening varieties. 

 Many varieties, of which no special mention is made, are sorts of con- 

 siderable merit and possess qualities that under other conditions might 

 place them in the front rank. 



RASPBERRIES. 



The drouth of last summer together with the extreme cold of the winter 

 left the canes in so weakened a condition that the anthracnose could not 

 be kept wholly in check. Cuthbert and most of the red sorts were killed 

 nearly to the ground. Many varieties suffered severely in decreased 

 productiveness and in the smaller size of the berries.
