New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 419 
Brilliant.,—(Meyer & Son, Bridgeville, Del.) Received for 
testing at this Station in Ig01. Plants not very vigorous, not an 
upright grower, canes rather slender, winter injury from 50 to 75 
per ct. during the past three years. On account of this severe injury 
enough fruit has not been produced for a good description. Ap- 
pears to be too tender for this locality unless protected during the 
winter, 
Carleton.—(J. Craig, Ottawa, Can.) Received for testing at 
this Station about ten years ago. Plants moderately vigorous, 
hardy, productive. Fruit medium to below, light red, grains large, 
inclined to crumble, fair to good in flavor and quality. Not equal 
to standard varieties. 
Coutant No. 2—(S. L. Quinby, Marlboro, N. Y.) Plants 
vigorous to very vigorous, upright, winter injury from o to 15 per 
ct. during the past four years, not very productive. Fruit averages 
above medium to medium in size, light red, moderately firm, some- 
times inclined to crumble, fair to good in flavor and quality. Al- 
though it holds its size fairly well in late pickings, it lacks some- 
what in size and productiveness, and is not equal to standard 
varieties in flavor and quality. 
Cuthbert: Quinby Favorite— An old variety received from 
various sources for testing at this Station. A chance seedling found 
by Thos. Cuthbert in Southeastern New York in 1865. Plants 
vigorous, healthy, rather erect; foliage rather dark green; usually 
hardy, productive. Fruit large, slightly conical, attractive red, 
grains medium to below in size, moderately firm to firm, sweet, 
good to very good in flavor and quality. This is by far the most 
popular variety among red raspberries, and seems to be well adapted 
to many localities. Its season of ripening is not very early but the 
crop ripens quite evenly through a rather long season. 
Eaton.—(A. Garretson, Pendleton, Ind.) Originated and in- 
troduced a few years ago by Mr. Garretson. Said to be a hybrid 
between the Shaffer and the Cuthbert. Plants moderately vigorous, 
nearly hardy, moderately productive. Fruit averages large, grains 
large, crumbles badly, moderately firm, fair quality. Although it 
keeps its size well in late pickings, it is not equal to standard 
varieties on account of habit of crumbling and low quality.
