KlirORT OF THE UoKTICULTURIST OF THE 



Mid-Season Varieties. 



(liirke is one of the most productive of the old varieties. It 

 is valuable for home use only. 



Crimson Beauty is of no value in this locality. 



I. X. L. shows no points of superiority. 



King produced its first crop of fruit this season. If it proves 

 to be productive it will no doubt be valuable for a mid-season 

 market berry on account of the size and color of the fruit. 



Miller Woodland is unproductive here. 



Pride of Kent was the most productive of the red raspberries 

 this season, and the canes were uninjured by the winter. The 

 berries are too soft to bear shipping. 



Reliance is of but little worth as tested here. 



Talbot ranks fourth in jn'oductiveness this season. It is valu- 

 able for local market or the home garden. 



Thompson is not productive here. 



Turner is noted for its hardiness. It is moderately productive 

 here; the fruit is medium in size and of good quality.
