Report of the Horticulturist of the 



Early Black Raspberries. 



The majority of the black raspberries ripened a large propor- 

 tion of their crop between the dates of June 30 and July l6. 

 Those varieties that ripened a fifth or more of their crop before 

 June 30 may be called early for this season.

Of the above varieties Poscharsky No. 3, Poscharsky No. 9, 

 American Everbearing and Spry Early are not as good for this 

 locality as are other well know^n sorts. 



Eureka is an early berry of large size, firm and of good color 

 and quality. As is usual with very early varieties it is only 

 moderately productive. 



Hopkins is also of large size, moderately firm and of good 

 quality. Both of these varieties received favorable notice in our 

 report for 1895. 



Late Black Rasplerrics. 



Again referring to table III. we find four varieties ripened a 

 fifth or more of their crop after July 15. These may be called 

 late for this season.
