This begins to flower early, some of the primordial blossoms expanding 

 between the 20th and 30th May, and continues in flower for three or 

 four montlis. I have found ripe fruit so early as July 18th. It abounds 

 m a gratefully acid juice, and the flavour is very pleasant, though 

 diflerent from that of most, if not all, our other species. 

 First record : Hore, 1841. 



I have noticed that the fruticose Brambles spring up readily and 

 plentifully from seed. Tusser knew this in the days of Ehzabeth, and 

 wrote under ' Februaries husbandrie : ' 



" Now sowe and go harrow (where redge ye did draw) 

 The seed of the hremhle, with kernell and haw."
