New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 691 
Of the older, well-tested raspberries, the Cuthburt seems to 
be still the most popular and, undoubtedly, will flourish over a 
larger territory than any other productive red variety. The 
Pomona has always given satisfaction here, producing above the 
average, while the berries areiof the largest, bright red and very 
firm. Stayman’s No.5 and Parry’s Nos. 1 and 2 are also good varie- 
ties, and in favorable seasons the Reder, Turner, and Supberb will 
prove profitable. In certain sections the Marlboro is still grown 
with profit. The Muskingum is of the same type as the Shaffer, 
more stocky in growth, and while the yield often excels the 
Shaffer, the fruits are smaller and more liable to crumble. 
In Blackcaps, the Carman still leads as the best early variety, 
with Lovett next, Hilborn and Smith’s Proline being the best for 
the main crop.
