Gault.—(W. C. Gault, Ruggles, O.) <A stray seedling found 
over ten years ago by Mr. Gault by the roadside near his home. 
Plants vigorous, nearly hardy, productive. Fruit medium size or 
below, rather dull red, grains medium in size, moderately firm, 
inclined to crumble, fair in flavor and quality. Inferior to standard 
kinds. 
Golden Queen.—An old variety received from various sources 
for testing at this Station. A yellow raspberry supposed to be a 
seedling of the Cuthbert, and found on the grounds of Ezra Stokes, 
Camden, N. J., in 1883. Plants vigorous to very vigorous, canes 
light in color, nearly hardy, productive. Fruit averages above 
medium,. attractive light yellow sometimes tinged with light pink, 
soft, juicy, resembles Cuthbert in shape, very good in flavor and 
quality. On account of its color and softness is not valuable com- 
mercially. 
Great American.—(J. L. Childs, Floral Park, N. Y.) Received 
for testing in 1896. Plants not vigorous, dwarfish, winter injury 
from 10 to 50 per ct. during the past four years, moderately pro- 
ductive. Fruit medium to large, fairly good color, rather soft, often 
inclined to crumble, no more than fair to good in flavor and quality. 
As fruited here not equal to standard kinds. 
Herbert.—(R. B. Whyte, Ottawa, Can.) A Baanee seedling 
found about fifteen years ago by Mr. Whyte, and sent out for 
testing by him as “ Whyte No. 17.” Received for testing at this 
Station in 1896. Plants moderately vigorous to rather vigorous, 
not so tall as Cuthbert, hardy or nearly so, very productive. Fruit 
above medium to very large, averaging slightly larger than Cuth- 
bert, attractive red, moderately firm to nearly firm, averaging 
slightly softer than Cuthbert, juicy, good to very good in flavor and 
quality. This variety appears to be one of the most promising of 
the newer red raspberries, and is considered worthy of testing for 
commercial purposes.
