650 Report oF THE HorTICULTURIST OF THE 
July 17, last good picking Aug -3, last picking Aug. 12. We 
consider it worthy of trial for the home garden at least. 
Canes vigorous, of strigosus type with a suggestion of some 
other species in the prickly curving canes tinged with reddish 
purple and in the purple tinge of the foliage. 1n its late fruiting 
season it resembles the purple berries. In the wrinkled leaves 
Mr. Hunn sees a resemblance to 2. Jdwus. See Annual Report 
this station 1892, p. 690. | 
Superb. Originated with J. Churchman, Burlington, N. J., 
about twenty years ago. It does not take very high rank among 
the raspberries tested here. It ranks fourteenth in productive- 
ness for 1893 and fourteenth also in the amount of late fruit. 
Thwack.. Small to medium, midseason, firm, mderately 
juicy, sweet; not very productive here. 
Turner. An old variety, productive and hardy. Fruit 
medium size, bright red color, juicy, sweet, very good in flavor and 
in quality It gave its best pickings from July 10 to July 28. 
Although not equal to Cuthbert as a market berry, yet on 
account of its hardiness and productiveness it is valued in many 
localities where Cuthbert does not succeed. Fruiting season 
earlier than that of Cuthbert. Canes of medium height, vigor- 
ous, upright, and nearly free from bristles, stregosus type. 
Suckers freely.

The following table shows the yield of red raspberries fruited 
at this station in 1893; the per cent of the crop picked before July 
13; the per cent picked after July 24, and with those kinds 
which were grown in hills, the total yield of five hills for the 
season. Some varieties have not been confined to hills during 
the last year and plants have partly filled the row. The yield of 
these varieties is therefore not strictly comparable with the yield 
of the varieties kept in hills. Names of such varieties are 
marked with a‘star in the following list and their rank as nearly 
as can be determined is given in the note following the table.
