Of red raspberries the Brandy wine, Turner and Thwack pay best in 

 the order named. Henrietta is the largest red, but the canes winter- 

 kill badly ; does not pay. 



Huve not realized much money from growing blackberries. Sny- 

 der, Kittatinny and Taylor's Prolific pay best in the order named. 



In the above report I have named only such varieties as I have 

 thorougly tested. I am testing a number of the newer varieties with 

 which I am not sufficiently acquainted to make a satisfactory report,, 

 as my report is already too long. I will not give my mode of plant- 

 ing and cultivating, but will send that in time for publication. 



DISCUSSION. 



Van Deman — Gives the Hopkins a good name as one of the very- 

 best. 



Murry — Likes the Hopkins best of all others. 



Snyder is the very best blackberry in the north and is not so small 

 as some think, and if treated well will pay excellently. 



Be careful about new varieties, Outhbert is a valuable red.
