Warm weather in the fall of 1899 caused a late growth to start, then winter weath- er coming on suddenly killed the canes. The only variety not affected thus was the Cardinal. The best soil for raspberries is a rich sandy loam, well drained. Prepare about the same as for strawberries. Plant in rows eight feet apart and plants three feet apart in the row. Plant three or four inches deep with roots well spread. Firm the soil well about the roots, being careful not to break off the green tip that makes the first growth. Very early spring is the best time to plant. Kansas—This variety holds the honors so far as being the best black cap. Its canes are least affected by heat or cold and anthracnose. Berry jet black. Almost as large as Gregg, about a week earlier than that variety. Lotta—Season foul or five days later than Kansas ; berry very large, of best flavor. Cane is not hardy enough for field culture. Older.—One of the best flavored berries; as large as Kansas, about same time of ripening, Cane very hardy. Palmer.—An old standard for earliness. Eureka—Has proven to be the best early the past two seasons. Berry size of Palmer; jet black. Ripens fruit all at once and is almost done by time Kansas is ripe. Cane almost as hardy as Kansas. Gregg The standard late berry, but canes are not very hardy. Nemaha.—Has proven to be so near like Gregg that the difference is not worth mentioning. Munger.—It is claimed to be the best late, but will have to do better in the future than it has for us the past two seasons. Cane is not hardy, and of course the crops have been very light; berry very large, even larger than Gregg; season lat
