New York AcGricutturAL ExpERIMENT STATION. 641 
Ada ripened a larger per cent of its crop as late fruit than did 
- any other variety, but the amount was comparatively small and 
the total yield for the season was unsatisfactory. Mills No. 15, 
gave an excellent late yield. It has not been so hardy here as 
Shaffer. Mills No. 1 also gave a good late yield. It has been 
injured but slightly by the winter and has been hardier than 
Mills No, 15, but it is less productive and its fruit is not so desir- 
able for dessert use. The Ohio is a standard late berry much 
used for drying. 
List or Brack RAspsBeRRIES SET IN THE SprRING oF 18938.

PURPLE RASPBERRIES. 
Addison. (From L. M. Macomber, North Ferrisburg, Vt., 
1890.) Fruit medium or above, firm, juicy, very good quality 
_ and with the flavor of the red raspberry. The new canes are 
‘ purplish red approaching in c lor some of the red raspberries; 
the habit of growth very much resembles the black raspberry 
and the plants are propagated by tips as are black raspberries. 
Canes vigorous, hardy and moderately productive. 
_ LBabeock’s Seedling. (Krom Daniel W. Babcock, Dansville, 
JV. Y.,1892.) Plants productive, vigorous, with canes of a pecu- 
liar purplish color and thickly beset with weak prickles. Fruit 
crumbles badly. Since this is its first crop at the station the 
plants are too young to determine its rank as to productiveness. 
Cardinal. (From A. H. Griesa, Lawrence, Kan., 1891.) Fruit 
large, soft, juicy, not so dark colored as Shaffer and better fla- 
vored than that variety. In flavor it resembles somewhat the 
red raspberries. On our grounds it seems to be hardier than 
Shaffer. Its canes showed no injury from the winter in 1893.
