RASPBERRIES.

slower in attaining to full development than some other varieties, the plants 
are very large and vigorous, giving an excellent yield. The leaflets are 
especially broad. Berries are large, roundish, oblate with a decided gray 
bloom; firm, juicy and of very good flavor. The variety is late in ripening, 
giving the first picking at the Station about July 21. 
Hansell -/?. strigosus. 
This, at one time popular American red variety, was not introduced to 
the Station grounds till 1898, consequently there is scant data as to its fruit¬ 
ing qualities. 
Hilborn — R. occidentalis. 
This black-cap is quite popular in Ohio and Ontario, but with us it has 
not done well as yet, although the fruit is near medium size and quite sweet 
and juicy. First ripe, July 21; last, August 2. 
Kansas—/?, occidentalis. 
This variety seems to be the closest rival to the Gregg upon our 
grounds, although in time of ripening it more nearly coincides with the Car¬ 
man. The plants are of rapid, vigorous growth, berries similar to Gregg, 
fully as large, ripening a week earlier; juicy, excellent flavor, quite firm; 
yield good. 
First picking, July 10; last, August 2; heaviest, July 19. 
Loudon—/?, strigosus. 
This popular Wisconsin berry was originated at Janesville, being a 
cross between Turner and Cuthbert. It has not yet fruited on our grounds. 
Marlboro - /?. strigosus. 
It is probable that this extremely popular red variety contains an 
admixture of European or Idaeus “blood.” By some authorities it is classi¬ 
fied as a hybrid between the two species. 
This variety has done rather better in neighboring grounds than on 
the station plat. It is a vigorous and productive early market variety and a 
thoroughly good all-purpose berry. 
Mills—/?, occidentalis. 
This black-cap variety was set in the Station plat in 1898 and has not 
yet been fruited. The variety is thought to be a cross between Gregg and 
Tyler. 
Miller—/?, strigosus. 
Set in Station plat in 1898; not yet fruited The variety is of the 
Brandywine type, but said to be considerably earlier. 
Mohler—/?. occidentalis. 
This promising black-cap variety was set in the Station plat in 1898 
and has not yet fruited. It is claimed to be a seedling of the Eureka, 
although considered by Prof. Green, of the Ohio Experiment Station, to be 
practically, if not actually, identical with that variety. It is certainly 
deserving of trial. 
Ohio —/?. occidentalis. 
Introduced to Station grounds in 1898; not yet fruited. An established 
early variety in many sections. Much used for drying and for shipping fresh. 
Palmer—/?, occidentalis. 
Introduced to Station grounds in 1898; not yet fruited. This variety 
originated in Ohio and has been reported favorably from many sections in 
the West, and seems to be well worthy of trial here.
