New Yorx AgericutturaL Exprrimenr Station. § 437 
Hale’s Early. (rom G. H. & J. H. Hale, South Glaston- 
bury, Conm., 1888.) Fruit medium early in 1893, medium size, 
firm, seedy, moderately juicy, sweet, very good flavor. It ranks 
twelfth in yield for 1893. Notes of this station in a previous 
season call it “a vigorous grower, bearing small fruits with a 
white bloom which detracts from the attractiveness of its color; 
clusters large with many fruits blasted.” 
Hilborn. (Lrom F. R. Palmer and Son, Mansfield, Ohio, 
1889.) A chance seedling originated on the grounds of W. W. 
Hilborn, Leamington, Ontario. In 1890, the first year it 
fruited at this station, it was noted* as a “sturdy grower, pro- 
ducing large slightly conical fruits, season medium to late.” In 
1891 + it was the most productive black raspberry tested at this 
station. This year, 1893, it ranked third in productiveness, 
bearing moderately firm, juicy fruit, medium to large size, sweet 
and very good in flavor and quality. This variety seems to be 
worthy extended trial on account of its productiveness, vigor 
and excellent fruit. | 
Lotta. Brackett’s, No. 101. (from G. C. Brackett, Lawrence, - 
Kan., 1890.) Fruit large, handsome bright black color, firm, 
moderately juicy, sweet, somewhat seedy, very good in quality ; 
mid-season. It ranks ninth in productiveness in 1893. 
Lovett. (rom J. T. Lovett, Little Silver, N. J., 1890.) 
Originated with Mr. Ezra Wood, Jefferson Co., Ind., and intro- 
duced in 1891 by J..T. Lovett & Co., Little Silver, N. J. When 
first fruited at this station in 1891 it was reported ast “one of 
the earliest varieties; fruit firm and of good size; growth vigor- 
ous.” In 1893 it ranked eighth in productiveness. It was 
medium early, yet had ripened one-half its fruit by the time the 
Ohio gave its first picking. Fruit large, fine black color, mod- 
erately juicy, firm, sweet and of very good quality. | 
Mills No. 1. (From Chas. Mills, Fair Mount, N. Y., 1891.) 
Seedling of Gregg (X. Tyler?). Growth very vigorous, slightly 
injured at the tips by the winter. Fruit large, firm, seedy, mod- 
erately juicy, sweet and of good flavor and quality. Ranks fifth 
on the list for productiveness in 1893 and second only to Mills 
No. 15 in the amount of fruit produced late in the season.
