PURPLE RASPBERRIES. 
_ Most of the purple raspberries have been recently transplanted 
so that only the one variety, Addison, bore fruit this season. 
The following list gives the names of the varieties that are now 
growing on the Station plats. 
Addison. Columbian. 
Babcock No. 1. Shaffer. 
Cardinal. Smith's Purple. 
Addison is. only moderately productive, the yield of five hills 
now in a matted row was 106 ounces. The fruit is of good 
quality, having the flavor of the wild red raspberry, while the 
plants have the habit of growth of the black raspberries. 
Columbian was transplanted after fruiting in 1893, so no farther 
report can be given on it at this time as we have no plants in 
bearing. 
YELLOW RASPBERRIES. 
A list of the yellow raspberries now growing on the Station 
plats is given below. 

Caroline. Golden Thornless. 
Champlain. _ Orange. 
Crystal (Crystal, White). _ Vermont. 
Golden Queen. 
Of the three varieties that produced fruit this year Caroline is 
first in productiveness as it was last year, ranking about with 
Cuthbert (Quinby’s). Golden Thornless is an old variety which 
produces fruit of good quality. Vermont was one of the most 
productive of the yellow raspberries in 1893; it was only moder- 
ately productive this year. None of the yellow berries are suit 
able for a market crop, but many of them are very desirable for 
the home garden.
