Columbian was winter-killed fifty-five per cent., but still it 

 ranks third in productiveness among the purple varieties. It 

 produced its first crop last year and ranked second in produc- 

 tiveness among all the raspberries. 



Redfield is said to be a very vigorous grower in some locali- 

 ties, but it makes only a moderate growth here. The fruit is 

 medium size, dull purple, soft, sub-acid, and fair quality. Thus 

 far it shows no points of superiority over better known sorts. 



Shaffer has long been the standard purple berry. The canes 

 are quite susceptible to attacks of anthracnose in some localities. 



Smith Purple was received from B. F. Smith, Lawrence, Kan., 

 181)1, but it has since been transplanted so that the plants have 

 never become established. It shows no indication of being any 

 improvement on better known varieties for this locality.
