RIPENING RECORD 



This page records the highly impor- 

 tant matter of the time of ripening of 

 various fruits. This particular page 

 shows, among other things, that a seed- 

 ling Japan raspberry ripened April 25, 

 and a new hybrid blackberry May 1. 

 Our finest new fruits, including the 

 Burbank cherry and the Sugar prune 

 are made doubly valuable by the 

 fact that they ripen earlier than similar 

 fruits of other varieties. We can, by 

 selective breeding, modify or lengthen 

 their season of fruiting.
