158 White to Green and Brown Flowers 



Riihiis strigosus, or Red Raspberry, has shrubby stems 

 usually densely covered with weak glandular bristles, the 

 older ones bearing small hooked prickles. The leaves are 

 three-to-five lobed, rounded at the base and sharply toothed. 

 The white flowers grow in a loose raceme and the fruit is 

 sweet, red and very juicy. 



Rtibus triflorus, or Dwarf Raspberry, has spineless stems 

 growing from six to eighteen inches high, and trifoliate 

 leaves the segments of which are nearly smooth and 

 pointed, the terminal one being wedge-shaped. The white 

 flowers usually grow in clusters of three on a slender stalk 

 and the fruit is a purplish-red berry. 



Rnbiis pcdatiis, or Creeping Raspberry, is a charming 

 little vine that trails over the rocks and creeps along the 

 ground, gemming the moss with its starry five-petalled white 

 flowers, in the centre of each of which grow many fine yel- 

 low-tipped stamens. The leaves are divided into three (or 

 very rarely five) leaflets, which are coarsely toothed at the 

 edges. The fruit consists of a cluster of from three to six 

 red juicy globules, pressed together and held in a cup of 

 tiny green leaves. The long lithe strands of this pretty, 

 delicate vine are most decorative, as many white flowers and 

 scarlet fruits may be gathered at the same time upon a single 

 trailing branch.
