Newark, New York State 
field, but for home use and in a small 
way for market purposes, is desirable. 
Origin, Iowa. 
Gregg. Black. First half of July here. 
Berries large, black, with a light bloom, 
comparatively free from seeds, and in 
quality good. The growth of the cane 
is very strong. As a market berry it is 
exceedingly valuable, the fruit being 
very firm, so as to ship in the best of 
order. Origin, Indiana. 
Kansas. Black. Large, round, firm, 
moderately juicy, strong grower and 
very productive; ripens early; considered 
one of the best market berries on account 
of handsome appearance. 
Loudon. Red. July 10 to 15 here. The 
Loudon is pronounced by E. S. Carman 
of The Rural New Yorker, the best red 
Raspberry in existence. Its great value 
lies in its extreme hardiness. 
The canes are very strong, vigorous 
and hardy. Fruit bright red. With us, 
the Loudon averaged about the same 
size as the Cuthbert with ordinary cul- 
ture. When well grown, the Cuthbert 
is perhaps the larger. The Loudon is 
perhaps the hardiest red berry grown, 
and will be largely planted, and is cer- 
tain to become one of the leading mar- 
ket sorts. 
Marlboro. Red. Early July here. One of 
the hardiest, earliest, largest and best 
carrying berries. Splendid quality, 
handsome color, and a great bearer. In 
regard to its earliness. The Rural New 
Yorker aclcnowledged the receipt of ripe 
fruit on the 26th of June. 
Miller. Red. Bright red color; is a 
healthy, vigorous grower, canes strong, 
well adapted to carr}dng their load of 
berries, firm and a good shipper; an early 
ripener. 
Ohio. Black. First half of July here. 
Very hardy, vigorous, and an enonnous 
bearer. Flavor superior, and will bear 
shipping well and keep long. This is 
one of the most valuable blackcaps yet 
introduced. It takes high rank for dry- 
ing purposes. 
black berries; excellent quality and a 
good shipper; one of the most valuable 
market berries, as it commands top 
prices. 
St. Regis. Another season's trial confirms 
all that has been said for this variety; 
it produced a fine crop of berries all 
through the fall of 1912. Fruit com- 
mences to ripen with the earUest and 
continuing on young canes until Octo- 
ber. Berries bright crimson, large size, 
rich, sugary with full raspberry flavor. 
Flesh firm and meaty, a good shipper. 
Wonderfully prolific, the first or main 
crop equalling any red variety known. 
Canes stocky, of strong growth, with 
abundance of dark green, leathery foli- 
age. Every raspberry grower should test 
it. 
Shaffer's Colossal. Purple. This pjant is 
a strong and large grower, is "ironclad" 
in hardiness, and yields an immense 
St Regis. 
Plum Fanner. Black. A vigorous, stocky 
growing blackcap, very healthy and at- 
tractive in appearance: productive, 
bearing heavy crops of Isirge, fine jet 
crop of dark, purplish red berries. The 
fruit is large, firm, and of a sprightly 
sub-acid flavor. This is a cap variety, 
and increases from the tips, like the 
blackcap. 
Set 2 ft. apart in the row; have rows 6 ft. apart.
