The Caroline Raspberry is again among our 
hardiest, and most prolific raspberries. The 
color is a palish salmon, the quality suit-acid, 
juicy, good. This is propagated, it will oe re. 
membered, both from the tips and from suck 
era. It is rather soft to send to any distance. 
Lost Rubies Raspberry, introduced two years 
ago, is extremely hardy at the Rural Grounds, 
not one bud having Iteen injured by the past 
Winter. It is quite prolific; the quality is 
Very sprightly, rather sour for many, but 
juicy and full of real rapberry flavor The 
berry is soft, and crumbly for which reason it 
cannot be recommended except for home use. 
Mr. T. H. Rorsford, of Vermont,, writes 
us that by crossing different plants of the 
same variety of wheat ho often gets as much 
of an improvement as by crossing different 
varieties. The most promising of his new 
barleys were obtained by crossing the com¬ 
mon six-rowed barley with plants of the same 
variety from seed imported from Europe. Of 
course, new varieties cannot be expected from 
such crosses or any improvement In quality of 
seed, but only in vigor and productiveness. He 
finds that the two plauts used as parents, or 
the seed that produces them, should come 
from different sections of country. 
As early as the soil can be worked next 
Spring, sow any of the First and Best Peas, 
American Wonder, Horsford’s Market Garden 
and Telephone. This selection will give cou- 
ti uuous pickings from early •) une until the first 
of August. For a very d warf pea (one foot 
or less in higLt) according to soil, the Garden 
Pride Pea (see our tests' will give satisfaction. 
The Telephone originated in England, and 
was first disseminated iu America by the 
Ritual New-Yorker. For productiveness, 
size of buds and peas, and quality, t here is not 
one variety that will surpass it. It grows 
from four to five feet high, and if planted as 
above will furnish peas for the table in aver¬ 
age seasons by Jline 20... . 
Scabby potatoes for two years at the Rural 
Experiment Grounds have been caused by 
the wire-worm. Those on land which had 
been manured with farm manure or decayed 
leaves, were all more or less injured, while 
those ou land which had received concentrated 
fertilizers only were sound.
