small patch along the railroad near Green's marsh. Leaved out 

 well by May 2, 1901. In flower May 19. 



409. DWARF RED RASPBERRY 



RUBUS TRIFLORUS Richards 



Not common ; generally found in sphagnous marshes or in mossy 

 places in woodland ponds, sometimes growing in mucky places. 

 Found at the border of a pond in Walley's woods and in the tam- 

 arack marsh west of the lake. In flower May 22, 1901. 



A delicate, thin-leaved trailing plant. The white blossoms have 

 an exquisite, delicate odor. The fruit, which is borne sparingly, is 

 exceedingly handsome, purplish-red in color and exceedingly good 

 eating, somewhat sour but with a delicious aromatic flavor. 



410. TALL BLACKBERRY 



RUBUS ARGUTUS Link 



Rather common in scattered patches ; on the hill north of the 

 icehouses and in front of the Assembly grounds. A fine large 

 patch on the side of the slope east of Lost Lake outlet back of 

 Green's field. Very abundant in Walley's woods where, in 1906, 

 it bore a great abundance of fruit. Scattered plants through 

 Farrar's woods. 



June 4 to 14, 1901, in flower in Farrar's woods. July 29 to Au- 

 gust 29, 1906, in fruit in Walley's woods. Leaves very tardily shed 

 in protected situations in woodlands ; they remained green nearly 

 all winter in Farrar's woods. 



A plant with large long crystal-white fruit, very sweet and de- 

 licious, was found near Fort W^ayne and transplanted from the 

 woods where found, but it finally died. Another patch with small 

 yellow berries, which always remained rather sour, was found in 

 the samox woods. "White" blackberries can be told from others 

 even in the winter, by the paleness of the canes. 



411. DEWBERRY; LOW RUNNING BLACKBERRY 



RUBUS PROCUMBENS Muiil. 



Common in sandy places, along the railroad, in old fields, etc. 

 The flower buds showed well along the railroad May 10, 1901, and 

 by May 19 it was fully in flower. In this vicinity it usually yields 

 rather sparingly but in 1909 there was an immense crop in one of 

 Green's fallow fields. With a good market, this should prove a 

 profitable crop in some of the sandy fields. The leaves assume
