Pxirple Cane. Occidentalis x Strigosus. i. Fuller Sm. Fr. Cult. 147. 1867. 



Fuller said in 1867 that this variety had been cultivated at least fifty years in the vicinity 

 of New York. It is probable that the name was applied to all purple raspberries rather than 

 to any specific variety. It was displaced by better sorts in the East, but was popular in 

 the West much longer. Plants vigorous and productive; canes very strong, growing 

 eight to twelve feet long, without suckers and propagating from the tips; prickles few, 

 hooked; fruit mediimi or small, dark dull red, with bloom; drupelets large, soft, sweet; 

 very good.

 thick set with small prickly Excrescences." " The Purple Raspberry hath a pleasant 

 Acidity in its Taste, and is somewhat later in Ripening than either of the other two (the 

 red and white), for which Reason 'tis much esteemed for Preserving."
