The purple i-aspberries are hybrids of the black and red varieties. Their 

 habit of growlli and jiietliod of propagation and culture is very similar to 

 that of the black raspberry. They are very hard}', vigorous and productive 

 and the berries are very good for canning. The most common varieties 

 listed are the Columbian, Haymaker, .Cardinal, and Shafer. The Colum- 

 bian is a very fine variety of this class and is highly recommended. 



YELLOW RASPBERRIES 



The yellow raspberries are very similar to the red varieties except in the 

 color of the berry which is a deep yellow. Their culture and method of 

 propagation is the same as described for the red raspberry. The Golden 

 Queen is the most common variety. It resembles the Cuthbert in shape 

 and size of berry and habit of growth.
