 another) on a ihelf. See pages 37* 74, 103. 



Raspberry, the kinds are red and white, and of 

 each a twite bearing fort, i. e. producing fruit in fum- 

 mer and autumn. Of the red there is a prickly wooded 

 fort, and a fmooth one, called the cane, and fomrtimei 

 the reed rafpberry ; and the large Antwerp, of a yellow 

 white, fometimes called the Middletcn Rafp, 



Gather this fruit carefully, and not long before 

 wanted ; lay no great quantity together. Rafpberriea 

 prefently lofe their flavour, and tend to decay. See 

 pages S8, 55, 77, 106, 16-t. 



Service, (fweet) or forb apple, is rarely cultivated 

 for fruit, as it requires a warmer climate than England 

 to ripen it. In fact, it never ripens on the tree. It. 

 is gathered late in autumn, in a very an (fere flate, and 

 laid by on ffraw to decay, when in about a month it 

 becomes agreeable to eat. The trees are hardy, and 

 the curious often plant them, merely for the Angularity 

 of their leaves and fruit. This tree is fometimes 

 trained, on a wall, or efpalier, as pears. There is a 

 vaiietv, as the apple, the pear t fhaped, &c. See lifts 

 of trees, 1, 2, Sea. 19. 



Strawberry : Of this fine flavoured fruit, beau- 

 tiful and fragrant, we have the following forts : Red, 

 ivhite, and green wood ; red and white A i pine : fearlet ; 

 Carolina; hautboy; red and green pine -apple ; Chili , 

 oi forts; with fome feminal varieties, as feveral of thc- 

 hauthoy, and one in particular of the Carolina, called 

 the/>/«^y7f//6^ilrawberry. There is alfo a ftraw berry 

 with one leaf, a variety of the wood an I prolific. 



Gather itrawberries regularly as they ripen, with a 

 bit ot their (talk, and never lay many together to prefs 

 upon one another. The frefher they arc, the finer 

 eating; for this fruit, as the rafp berry, is quite n^u^ht 

 when dale. Seepages 58, 51, 55, 77, 111, 1G5.
