232 MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Mr. Smith: You say the Turner and Philadelphia were your 

 best raspberries. Didn't yoa have any trouble marketing the 

 Philadelphia? 



Mr. Crandall: No, sir. I never had any trouble at all. A 

 great many people find fault with it on account of crumbling. 

 We never found any fault with it in that way. We marketed 

 about sixty crates, and we did not have enough to supply our 

 customers. They sold at a premium, 



Mr. Smith: Have you raised the Cuthbert? 



Mr. Crandall: We raised the Cuthbert on the same ground. 



Judge Moyer: Did you do anything for the troe cricket? 



Mr. Crandall: No, we never did anything for it. 



Mr. Brackett: Did you ever fruit the Marlboro? 



Mr. Crandall: No, I never fruited the Marlboro? 



Mr. Wedge: Which gives the best yield, new or one year 

 old or two year old beds? 



Mr. Crandall: I think I would be safe in saying the one year 

 old beds. In different years the result is different. I think 

 the one year old beds are giving the best results. 



Mr. Brackett: How long do you leave a bed before plowing 

 under ? 



Mr. Crandall: Usually two years. Sometimes I let it go 

 three, if it is good. Three years ago we had a Wilson bed 

 that was three years old; it was quite grass grown, but the 

 yield was very good. 



Mr. Wedge: Did you say the Warfield does not sell as well 

 as the 'Crescent? 



Mr. Crandall: The Warfield was not so large and so pro- 

 lific; the Crescent did as well as any. 



Mr. Dewain Cook: Is the treatment and the soil the same. 



Mr. Crandall: Exactly the same. 



Mr. Wedge: What was the trouble with the Cuthbert? 



Mr. Crandall: It never appeared equal to the Turner, the 

 Philadelphia or the Brandywine. The leaves in many plants 

 seem to be rusted; they curl up tightly, and the berries are 

 small on all such canes. 



Mr. Cook: Is it not the curly leaf? 



Mr Crandall: Yes, I guess it is the curly leaf. 



Mr. Cook: Have you ever been troubled with anthracnose? 



Mr. Crandall: No, not in the least. 



Pres. Underwood: Do you cover your raspberries? 



Mr, Crandall: I cover the canes, all but the Philadelphia. 



Pres. Underwood: What do you cover with? 



Mr. Crandall: With earth.
