"W. H. F.," Wood's Holl, Mass., writes: "You would oblige 'W. H. F.' very much if you would let me know in your next number of the Gardeners' Monthly, which are the best raspberries for an exposed place; give me two or three varieties".

[Any variety of the Red or Black cap raspberry would be hardy with you, so long as they were not exposed to hot dry suns. In such places they get their life power weakened, and are then " tender," and die in winter. Of the Red varieties, Franconia is the best for exposed places in Mass. Then you may add Cuthbert, and if a light-colored one is desirable, Caroline. Of the Black cap class, Souhegan is the most popular in that section, and, though the Gregg has not been widely grown in Masssachusetts, it is worth planting, we think. - Ed. G. M].
