Baiunforth's Seedling. 2. Flor. & Pom. 185, fig. 1880. 



This variety was selected from a lot of seedlings of Fillbasket about 1865 by John 

 Baumforth, Pontefract, England. It was distributed about 1880, and is still occasionally 

 grown in Europe, but is too tender for this country without winter protection. In size, 

 vigor, and productiveness of plant it surpasses its parent; the berries ripen ten days 

 earlier; canes numerous, stout, spreading, glaucous, glabrous; prickles numerous, stout; 

 fruit large, round or somewhat flattened, soft and juicy, rather acid; good. 



Baumforth 11. i. Jour. Pom. & Hort. Sci. 3:22. 1922.

 widely grown in England. Plants vigorous, very productive; canes very numerous, spread- 

 ing, green, moderately glaucous, glabrous; prickles few or none, very small, dark purplish; 

 fruit conic; drupelets small, very firm, sweet. 



Baumforth III. i. Jour. Pom. & Hort. Sci. 3:2^. 1922. 



StUl another variety is grown under this name at the East Mailing Research Station
