Pocklington. Foliage good, vine vigorous and the fruit large, fine and 

 of good quality, but it is unfortunately late in ripening. 



Poughkeepsie Bed. A promising variety, but has failed to fruit as abun- 

 dantly as in other- sections. 



Prentis. Vine slow in growth, fruit of medium size and good quality, 

 late. 



Rochester. Foliage good, vine vigorous ; has fruited but little with us. 



Telegraph. Early, pefectly hardy, but of poor quality. 



Ulsters Prolific. Small red grape of good quality ; we have not fruited 

 it long enough to test its value. 



Vergennes. Hardy, vigorous and moderately productive ; a very 

 promising variety. 



Wyoming Red. Good foliage, moderately vigorous and early. 

 Promising. 



Wilder. Rogers' No. 4. One of the best of Rogers' hybrids and under 

 favorable conditions succeeds well. 



Warden. By far the best grape to plant for profit in New England. It 

 is equally hardy, productive and of as good quality as the Concord 

 and more than a week earlier. In vine and fohage almost identical. 



RED RASPBERRIES. 



Hansel. Hardy, rather weak in growth, foliage good, fruit early, ripen- 

 ing with the Marlboro and before the Turner. The fruit is of fine 

 color and good quality, moderately firm and productive. In some 

 localities the foliage has mildewed badly ; on the college grounds 

 it has been injured in this way, but one season since its introduction 

 four years ago. 



Rancocas. This variety as we have it is in every way identical with the 

 Hansel, although it never has been injured by mildew. It is possi- 

 ble that we may not have the true variety. 



Marlboro. For the past three seasons this variety has fruited with us, 

 and we consider it the most promising variety for profit. The fruit 

 is large, of light color, firm and of fair quality. It has proved 

 entirely hardy and moderately vigorous. In some sections the 

 foliage is reported to burn badly in dry weather ; but with good 

 cultivation and liberal manuring in the fall, it has proved by far the 

 most profitable raspberry. 



Cuthbert. This superb variety still heads the list for hardiness, reliability 

 under all conditions, and the quality of fruit produced. With an 

 abundant supply of the earlier varieties in the market it may not be 

 quite as profitable in the future as in the past, but can be recom- 

 mended everywhere for home use.
