White Beauty. — A seedling produced by John Burr and introduced by Stay- 

 man & Black, Leavenworth, Kansas. Bunch medium size, compact, shouldered. 

 Berry round, clear white, covered with lis^ht lilac bloom. Skin thin, very juicy ; 

 pulp moderately tender. Seeds numerous ; quite foxy ; medium quality. Late. 



Raspberries. 



Black. 



Older. — This variety originated with and has been introduced by R. D. 

 McGeehon, Atlantic City, Iowa, from whom plants were received which were set 

 out in the spring of 1892. These bore some fruit the same season and an abundant 

 crop this year. The plant is exceedingly vigorous and roots from the tips very 

 readily. 



Berry large, rpund, deep black, with very large drupes. The seeds are not 

 prominent, and the berries are borne in good sized clusters, very juicy and of good 

 quality. It also has the habit of fruiting heavily on the young wood. This vear the 

 first fruit ripened with Hilborn, while it continued bearing till the season of Gregg 

 had closed. (See Figure I). So far this seems to be a profitable variety. 



A number of the newer black caps are being tested, but the above is the only 

 one which so far stands out prominently as a variety worthy of careful trial.
