Text Appearing Before Image:
The Canadian Horticulturist, 369 The Superlative Raspberry, from Messrs. Elwanger & Barry, planted last May, is fruiting just now, July 16th, in our Experimental grounds at Maple- hurst, and the flavor is certainly very fine, justifying what the introducers say of it that it is par excellence a dessert kind. . • Of course it is quite too soon to say anything about its productiveness, which is so important a point with all commercial growers, but we have distri- buted plants to each of our Experimental Stations, whose report will be published annually. The* following is the description given of the introducers :—Large, conical, handsome ; dull red ; six good berries weigh an ounce. Canes stout, supporting themselves ; a heavy cropper.,

Fig. 699.—Supkrlative Raspberry (Natural Size). APPLES IN ENGLAND. Messrs. Woodall & Co., of Liverpool, writes :—The greater portion of arrivals to date have been from New York State, and for so early in the season the quality, generally speaking is considered satisfactory, the fruit, though small and wanting color, being remarkably clear and free from grubs. Some early varieties landed out of condition, and we think shippers would do well to keep these at home, as they have the effect of disorganizing the market and getting prices on to a low basis. The first Kings sold from 18/ to 25/6, according to size and color. Some Red fruit received from Boston brought fair rates, but were some- what soft. The demand is active, and we look for an excellent trade when the color improves, and there should be a better chance for shippers than for many seasons past.
