N EW York AGRICULTURAL ExPERIMENT STATION. 649 
second on the list. It has made an excellent record here, and is 
considered one of the most desirable, home raspberries on the 
grounds. Thirteen per cent of its crop was picked before July 
13, and seventeen per cent a‘ter July 24, thus showing that it 
has a long fruiting season. Mr. Parry has discarded this variety 
because he has not found it valuable. If it will do as well in 
other localities as it has done here we believe it is worthy of 
introduction as a home and local market variety. 
Pride of Kent. (From Le. S. Edwards, Highland, Col , 1892.) 
Canes strong, vigorous, of /wdus type. Was not injured last 
winter though the thermometer fell to six degrees below zero. 
Fruit large to very large, very soft, delicious flavor, very good in 
quality. Its rank as to productiveness is not given since this is 
its first crop at the station. 
Quinby, Quinby’s Favorite. See Cuthbert. 
Rancocas. A chance seedling from the grounds of A. Hansell, 
Burlington county, N. J. An early variety but unproductive 
here. Although it ripened nearly one-half its fruit before 
July 13, it ranked third as to the amount of early fruit pro- 
duced. See table IX, page 651. Fruit small to medium, fair 
flavor, juicy, soft. 
Reder. Canes moderately vigorous. Fruit medium size, good 
scarlet color, juicy, moderately firm, very good quality, midsea- 
son to late. Ranks twelfth as to productiveness for 1893.

and introduced about fifteen years ago. Canes viyorous, of 
strigosus type. Fruit crumbles slightly, small to medium in size, 
crimson color, soft, Juicy, sweet, very good quality, midseason, 
not very productive here. Ranks about with Early Prolific as 
to yield.

Harrisonville, O.,1891.) Notwithstanding the fact that the canes 
were injured somewhat by the previous winter it franks second as 
to productivencss for 1893. Grains large, pulpy; fruit large, 
moderately juicy ; very good in flavor and in quality ; somewhat »
