ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PRACTICAL HORTICULTURE 



Burkliart 



A comparatively new, unknown sort 

 which promises to become very valuable 

 for both home and commercial growing. 



Ohio 



An old, well-known sort, especially val- 



uable for canning and evaporating pur- 

 poses. While strong and vigorous, it is 

 not generally productive in this state. 



The following varieties have been 

 thoroughly tested in the Station gardens 

 and found worthy or unworthy as indi- 

 cated in these brief notes: 



Bed Raspberries : 7, Loudon — Fruit medium in size and earliness, light red, rather 

 long, of fair quality (a popular variety in some localities but inferior to the Cuth- 

 bert as grown here). 9, Eaton — Fruit dark red, resembling the Antwerp but has 

 larger drupels; inclined to crumble; flavor fairly good; season medium. 10, Fill- 

 basket — Largest berry in the list ; comes in fruit early and stays late ; very prolific, 

 but soft and of poor quality. 12, Superlative — Fruit large, long, coarse, soft, of 

 poor flavor. (Not to be recommended.)
