the plants have not become well established. It has not yet shown 

 any points of superiority. Pride has done fairly well heretofore. 

 Its fruit is of medium size, firm, good color and good quality. 



PUEPLE EASPBEEPIES. 



Among the purple raspberries the Columbian was the most pro- 

 ductive. The plants produced their first crop this season , yet it 

 ranks second in productiveness among the raspberries fruited, 

 giving a yield of 5-iO ounces from a row 25 feet long, A similar 

 area of Caroline yielded 633 ounces. Its manner of growth and 

 fruiting is much like the Shaflt'er, but it is more vigorous and was 

 injured less by the winter. As compared with Shaffer the fruit is 

 larger, firmer, and a shade lighter in color. It yields a larger per 

 cent, of its crop late in the season than does the Shaffer. 



This is a promising variety and is worthy of extended trial. 



Cardinal ranked second in productiveness among the purple ber- 

 ries. Its canes were injured but little by the winter. 



YELLOW EASPBEEEIES. 



The yellow rasjiberries are valuable for the home garden. Of the 

 varieties fruited on the Station grounds the Caroline and Golden 

 Queen are the most satisfactory as to yield. Caroline has always 

 been productive here, and this year it gives the largest yield of any 

 of the raspberries.
