Synopsis

Excerpt from The Raspberry and Its Cultivation in Canada: With a Section on Insects Affecting the Raspberry, and a Section on Raspberry Diseases

Ohta - Originated by N. E. Hansen, South Dakota. One of the hardiest varieties. Fruit is rather small and moderately firm. Where Newman and Viking can be grown it is not to be recommended, but is desirable for use in very severe areas. It is also much earlier than most varieties.

Ranere (st. Regis). - Originated in New Jersey. Fruit medium in size, roundish, bright crimson; firm, moderately juicy, mildly subacid, little distinct flavour; quality medium. Season very early to very late. Plant hardy, vigor ous and productive. This is commonly known as St. Regis Everbearing, but it was grown for some time under the name of Ranere before being introduced by the firm of J. T. Lovett under the name of St. Regis. Most of the crop Of this variety is borne in the early part of the summer, but a small proportion develops and a still smaller proportion ripens on the new canes. A wet autumn is usually favourable for late fruiting. In dry weather the fruit does not develop well. The amount of the late crop depends very much on the character of the season. Where one has plenty of room and desires raspberries in autumn this variety will usually supply them, but it is not good enough in quality to depend on for the main crop.

Sunbeam. - Another production of Hansen's which succeeds on the prairies without protection. Recommended along with Ohta for very severe areas.
