FRUITS OF ONTARIO. 



245 



LOUDON, 



A good market variety, the berries being a little larger than Cuthbert, but not 

 quite equal to it in quality. 



Origin: raised by F. W. Loudon, of Wisconsin, fi'om seed of Turner crossed with 

 Cuthbert. 



Plant : hardy ; very productive ; but not very vigorous ; canes very slightly 

 branched, and have strong buds which produce the fruiting branches; pinching back 

 the tips is therefore not wise. 



Beery: size large; form conical; color red, attractive; grains large, inclined to 

 crumble; texture firm; flavor fair. 



Quality : dessert or cooking fair. 



Value: first class for market. 



Season : medium. 



MARLBORO, 



This raspberry has been coming gradually to the front ever since its introduction 

 about the year 1880. The old Highland Hardy for a while disputed its place as an 

 early market berry, but the superior size and beauty of the rorrnev soon caused the 

 latter to give place entirely, until Marlboro and Cuthbert have been for many years 

 the two leading varieties of red raspberries to cover the season. 



Maklboeo. 



Plant : fairly vigorous ; canes short, stout, upright, without branches ; propagated 

 by suckers ; fairly productive.
