The Supp:rlative Raspberry, from Messrs. Elwanger & Barry, planted 

 last May, is fruiting just now, July i6th, in our Experimental grounds at Maple- 

 hurst, and the flavor is certainly very fine, justifying what the introducers 

 say of it that it \% par excellence a dessert kind. 



Of course it is quite too soon to say anything about its productiveness, 

 which is so important a point with all commercial growers, but we have distri- 

 buted plants to each of our Experimental Stations, whose report will be published 

 annually. The following is the description given of the introducers : — Large, 

 conical, handsome ; dull red ; six good berries weigh an ounce. Canes stout, 

 supporting themselves ; a heavy cropper.

APPLES IN ENGLAND. 



Messrs. Woodall & Co., of Liverpool, writes : — The greater portion of 

 arrivals to date have been from New York State, and for so early in the season 

 the quality, generally speaking is considered satisfactory, the fruit, though small 

 and wanting color, being remarkably clear and free from grubs. Some early 

 varieties landed out of condition, and we think shippers would do well to keep 

 these at home, as they have the effect of disorganizing the market and getting 

 prices on to a low basis. The first Kings sold from 18/ to 25/6, according to 

 size and color. 



Some Red fruit received from Boston brought fair rates, but were some- 

 what soft. 



The demand is active, and we look for an excellent trade when the color 

 improves, and there should be a better chance for shippers than for many 

 seasons past.
