few years. Not many years ago the
Wilson took the lead among market
sorts, while for the past five or six
years the same place has been accorded
the Crescent. The latter variety has by
no means been superseded, no" has it
begun to decline in vigor or productive
mes, but varieties nave recently been
produced that are equal to it, and in
some respects superior. This gives
fruit growers added advantages, because
of a longer list from which to choose.
enabling them to select varieties suited
to particular purposes.
The following list does not give all
that have been tested, but those only
that are of the greatest interest:
Haverland-This variety is one OF the
most promising of recent introduction.
1t has been before the public but three
years, yet it has become fairly estab-
ished and O ranks high among the
standard sorts. In it's leading charac-
teristics it resembles the Crescent, be-
ing vigorous in its growth and very pro-
life. 1t is not quite so early in ripen-
ing, but the berries are larger and finer
in appearance. Scarcely an unfavor-
able report has been heard of this
variety from any section of the country.
1t may not equal to some other sorts for
distant shipment, but for near market
it is unsurpassed. Fruit growers who
have not planted the Haverland need
have no fear in doing SO, as it seldom
happens hat a variety fails in q par
ticular locality when it succeeds over q
wide area.
Bubach-This variety is remarkable
for its healthy dark green foliage, being
distinct from all other varieties in color
OF leaf and general appearance of plant.
The berries are large, somewhat cock
combed, rather soft and not extra in
quality. In productiveness the bubach
ranks a little below crescent and hayer-
land, but the berries are larger than of
either of the kinds named. Many grow
ers who dispose of their crop in near
markets place this variety at the head
OF the list, but experience with it at the
station shows that the berries are not
uniformly large, rendering sorting
necessary. 1t must be classed with what
are known as '.show berries in which
class it takes high rank. AS regards
its value as a maket berry much de-
ponds upon the demands of the particu-
lar market for which it is designed.
When extra fine berries commando price
according to the grade, the bubach will
prove one of the most profitable, but in
less discriminating markets it will fall
considerably below crescent and haver-
land.
Warheld-The most marked charac-
teristic of this variety is it's shipping
quantities, ranking the highest of those
named in this particular. The plants
are vigorous and productive; berries
medium in size, and of fair quality.
Those who grow for near market only
will find this variety less satisfactory
than the above named, eX%ceptwhen it is
desirable to hold the berries some time
after being picked. 1t has n place,
which it fills very satisfactorily, but
for near market it is not the equal of
either of the three varieties named
above.
The above varieties stand at the head
of the list for market purposes OF those
that have been fully tested. They are
ali of the class that bear imperfect
flowers. and must be planted near other
varieties that furnish pollen. There
are no perfect Towering varieties at
present known that are equal i'll pro-
d~nctiveness to the above list. The fol
lowing are usually planted for the pur-
pose of furnishing pollen, and arc
among the best of those tested at The
station: Miner, Cumberland, Jessie,
Sharpless. OF those not fully tested,
but appear to DO very promising, En-
nance and Michel's Early may be
named.
1t should be clearly understood by
those about to plant that it is not advis-
able TO set any more of the perfect
Towering sorts than is necessary.
About one-ffth of tho total number is
the rule usually followed.
Tue varieties thus far named are par
ticularly recommended for market pur-
poses, but any or all will prove satisfac-
tory for home use. If quality alone is
considered, the following arc the best
that can be named: Cumberland, Jessie,
Sharpless, Ida, Belmont and Hen
derson.
There has been no such change in the
list of raspberries as with strawberries.
Nearly the same varieties stand at the
head of the list as held that position
i've years ago. OF the black caps the
best that can be named are Tyler, Ohio,
llilborn and Gregg, given in the order
or c%arliDess. The Palmer is much like
the Tyler, perhaps being an improve
ment in vigor and productivcness. The
best of the red sorts are Marlboro,
Shatfer, Reliance and Cuthbert. The
best for home use of the whole list is
the Safer. A variety called the Musk
inEum resembles the Shaifer and is SUI
perior to il for market purposes, being
tirmer. but is no better for home use.
Neither the Reliance nor Cuthbert Sue !
coed in all localities, but where they
are at home, are very profitable. Tho
Cuthbert is the latest of the reds, and
the Turner the earliest of those named.
Tbompson's Early Pride. a variety not
fully tested, is very early and quite
promising.
The best that can be named are Sny-
der, Taylor, Agawan, Ancient l5riton
and Erie. Snyder and Ancient Briton
are the hardest, hence the most reiia-
bic Of those named. Taylor and Eric
are larger, but less hardy. Aeawan is
the sweetest enc on the list. Some
call it insipid, while many prefer it to
any other variety"
