Hi There,

I would recommend:

Thiessen  - Large, up to 17mm (7/10") diameter, good flavor, blooms 1
           week earlier than other cultivars, ripens unevenly which is
           good for U-pick.  Suckers.  Can grow to 16' if left to do so

Martin    - Seedling of Thiessen, Large, up to 18mm (7/10") diameter,
           good flavor, ripens more evenly and blooms later, suckers
           less than Thiessen.  Can grow to 16' if left to do so.

Northline - Large, up to 16mm (6/10") diameter, excellent flavor,
           productive.

Honeywood - Medium, up to 15mm (6/10") diameter, good flavor, blooms
           a few days later than other cultivars.  Grows to about 8'.
           Very little suckering.

Smokey    - Medium, up to 14mm diameter, excellent flavor, closest to
           the 'wild' flavor, suckers wildly as well.

I have been told that rust is a major problems with these Saskatchewan 
(Canada) cultivars, when grown in some areas of the U.S.

If you need any more information, I have a production manual produced by the 
University of Saskatchewan.

Good Luck,

Dean
