WORTHY GENERAL CULTIVATION. 



US 



Monthly. 



Large-fruited Monthly, | Rivers' Large-fruitetl Monthly. 



This variety has been lately introduced, with claims to excellence 

 and productive habit. We have fruited it but one year, and cannot, 

 therefore, speak knowingly, but incline to the impression that, like 

 others of its character, it depends more on the system of culture to 

 produce the fruit in succession, than the actual habit of the plant. 

 Shoots, long, slender, purplish in the sun, thickly covered with 

 dark purple spines ; fruit, hardly above medium, red, fine flavor. 

 Barry says, " to insure a good autumn crop, the canes should be 

 pruned in spring to within a foot of the ground." 



Mrs. Wilder. 



Seedling of Col. Wilder, which it so nearly resembles as not to 

 require distinct description. 



Orange. 



This variety was grown by Dr. Brinckle from seed in 1844. On 

 account of being more hardy, it will probably supersede the Yellow 

 Antwerp, while its late period of ripening, being some ten days after 

 that variety, will render it highly valuable for marketing. Shoots, 

 vigorous, with white spines ; leaf, irregular ; fruit, larg^, ovate, beau- 

 tiful bright orange color, and of excellent flavor, productive. By 

 manv this is regarded as the best of all the varieties originated by 

 Dr. Brinckle. 



Red Antwerp.

 True Red Antwerp,

Fraiaboisier a Gros Fruit.

Late-bearinif Antwerp, 



Howlands Red Antwerp, 



Although universally desired, it 

 is rare that the true Red Antwerp 

 raspberry is found west of the State 

 of New York. It is a Dutch sort, 

 originally from Antwerp city. An 

 examination of the Red Antwerp 

 as imported from several sources, 

 all of which prove incorrect, leads 

 us to doubt whether it is better 

 known in the old country than here. 

 The conmion Red Antwerp is easily 

 detected in its fruit being smaller 

 and round, w|jile that of the true is 

 large, regularly long conical, dull 

 red, with a rich sweet flavor.
