GUSHING. 



This fine raspberry was raised from seed of the Double-bearing, 

 by Dr. Brinckle, of Philadelphia, in 1844. It has not as yet been 

 sufficiently tested to judge of its value for extensive culture, but 

 should receive attention of amateurs. Shoots, strong, vigorous ; 

 prickles, brown ; leaf, plaited, regular form ; fruit, large, roundish 

 conical, crimson, and of fine flavor. Matures early. Said to occa 

 sionally produce a second crop in autumn ; and as this is from shoots 

 grown the same year, it will probably become twice-bearing in all 

 sections south of Philadelphia. 



EMILY. 



A seedling from the Colonel Wilder; little disseminated; vigor 

 ous growth, with white spines. Fruit, large, round, occasionally 

 shouldered, light yellow. 



FASTOLF. 



An English variety, 

 introduced with high 

 praise, which it has 

 fully sustained in this 

 country. It is proba 

 bly a chance seedling 

 of the Red Antwerp, 

 which it much resem 

 bles. Its name is from 

 an old pile called Fast- 

 olf Castle, near Yar 

 mouth, Eng. Through 

 out most of North and 

 Western States it will 

 need protection in win 

 ter, as its canes are 

 not quite hardy. For 

 small gardens, we pre 

 fer it to Red Antwerp ; 

 but for market culture, 

 the latter is best, on 

 account of being more 

 firm. Shoots, strong, 

 are much inclined to
