SMALL FRUITS 



Raspherries.—The best variety was the Cuthbert; it produced a good crop of 

 firm, medium-sized, well-shaped berries. It should be a good commercial variety as it 

 has a good flavour and excellent shipping qualities. It fruited from June 15 to July 

 16 and was earlier this year than usual. Superlative was a good second. The remain- 

 ing varieties. White Queen and Fillbasket were not of much account either in amount 

 of crop or quality. 



■Blaclcherries. — Snyder and Erie were the most successful blacjiberries and 

 seemed to be able to throw off the attacks of the leaf-hopper and leaf-spot which 

 affected the other varieties severely. Snyder produced well and fruited from July 

 12 to July 31. Erie produced a larger crop than Snyder and fruited from July 12 

 to August 2. 



Blach Currants. — Boskoop Giant was the best variety, with Victoria second, 

 crop was small this year as the bushes were only starting to yield. 



The 



Loganberries. — Like the early blackberries the Loganberries were attacked by 

 leaf-hoppers and leaf-spot just as the fruit was ripening, spoiling what promised to 

 be a fairly good crop.
