Ill. VARIETY TESTS OF STRAWBERRIES, 
RASPBERRIES AND BLACK BERRIES.* 

WENDELL PADDOCK.’ 

SUMMARY. 
STRAWBERRIES. 
Anlo was the most productive strawberry that fruited this season. 
It is a good size, midseason berry, firm and attractive. Stahelin 
produced the largest amount of early fruit and takes second rank 
as to productiveness among all varieties fruited. Of the late varie- 
ties, Rural Gem, Oswego Queen and Michigan are all recommended 
for trial. | 
BLACK RASPBERRIES. 
Pioneer was the most productive black raspberry and takes 
second rank in the amount of early fruit produced. Palmer pro- 
duced the largest amount of early fruit. Both are worthy of a 
trial. Mills yielded the largest .amount of late fruit. It has 
been quite satisfactory on our grounds. Black Diamond produced 
a good crop of fruit, but the berries are not as large or perfect 
as is desirable. Mohler and Eureka are very similar as grown 
on our grounds this season. | 
RED RASPBERRIES. 
Loudon was the most productive red raspberry this season. 
This variety is rapidly coming into general favor. Cline pro- 
duced the largest per cent of its crop early in the season but the 
total amount was comparatively small. Pomona gave a large.
