Variety Tests of Raspberries. 
Many of the older varieties of raspberries have been thor- 
oughly tested at this Station and reported on in previous years. 
Therefore it ‘has been thought best to discard a large number of 
them and retain only a few of the standard varieties for com- 
parison with the newer sorts. Information concerning any of 
‘these older varieties that have been tested will be cheerfully 
farnished upon application.
