the garden of Governor Wood, Cleveland, Ohio, and introduced 
by Mr. Carpenter. Plants moderately vigorous to vigorous, pro- 
ducing few suckers, foilage rather dark green, winter injury from Io 
to 75 per ct. for the past five years. Fruit above medium to large, 
grains rather large, attractive red color, rather soft, nearly sweet 
when fully ripe, pleasant flavor, fair to good in quality. Inferior

been received from various sources for testing. Plants not vig- 
orous, dwarfish, slender, winter injury from Io to 8o per ct. for the 
past four years, usually unproductive on account of winter injury. 
Fruit above medium to large, slightly lighter in color than Caroline, 
grains above medium size, very soft, good to very good in flavor 
and quality. One of the best in quality of the yellow raspberries 
but too soft for shipping, and requires winter protection in this 
locality.

very large, soft, attractive red color, good in flavor and quality.
