Gregg. I. Am. Hort. Ann. 87. 1871. 2. Roe Sue. Sm. Fr. 233. 1881. 3. Mich. Sta. 

 Bui. Ill :2^8. 1894. 4. Card 5Ms/t-Fr. 155. 1917. 

 Paradoxically enough one may name more good qualities for Gregg and at the same 

 time more defects than in aknost any other black raspberry. The defects are in the plants ; 

 the good qualities, in the fruit. The berries are about all that could be desired, — large, 

 handsome and of the very best quality; the fruit is about the best of all black raspberries 

 for evaporating, a smaller quantity of fresh fruit being required for a pound of dried fruit
