506 Report oF THE HorTICULTURIST OF THE 
EARLY RED RASPBERRIES. 
The greater portion of the crop of red raspberries was picked. 
between the dates of July 7 and July 22. Those varieties that 
ripened a large share of their crop before July 7 may be called 
early for this season. Table 7 shows that four varieties ripened 
30 per cent or more of their crop before this date. ‘These have 
been arranged below in Table 8.

Cline yielded a larger portion of its crop early than any other 


variety but its total yield is low and its fruiting season is com- 
paratively short. Pomona and Marlboro are very similar in many 
respects but the former has always given a larger yield on our 
grounds. Superlative yields fruit of largest size but is very un- 
productive on our grounds. 3 
LATE RED RASPBERRIES. 
All varieties that yield 30 per cent or more of their crops after 
July 22, the date assumed as the close of midseason, have been 
classed as late for this season. They are given in Table 9.
