Green. — Bush was of weak growth and but a small crop of fruit was 

 borne. The berries are of good size, rather soft but of good quality. 

 The variety was sent out as Green's New Raspberry, an objectionable name. 



Gregg. — Perhaps the best late market sort. The canes are often badly 

 injured by the winter and the variety should only be plan ed on a high, 

 well-drained location. 



Kansas. — This variety has been grown for several seasons and has uni- 

 formly given good results. The bush is of strong, healthy growth, and 

 the canes are quite hardy. The berries are large, of fine appearance, 

 though not of high quality. 



Mills No. 15. — The canes are of good growth and stand the winter well. 

 The berries are large, jet black in color, not so dry or firm as Gregg, but 

 better in quality. In season a little earlier than Gregg. Appears to be 

 of considerable promise. 



Ohio. — While this variety usually produces a large crop, the berries are 

 very poor in quality. It is the leading sort for evaporating purposes. 



Older. — The berries are large and of high quality, but soft. As the 

 variety is productive it is valuable for home use.
