BLACK RASPBERRIES. 

 Most of the black raspberries now growing on the Station grounds 

 are young plants, and until they become better established their 

 season and productiveness can not be determined. Notes on the 

 newer varieties, or those that have fruited here for the first time 

 are given below.
