/\/\/\ Raspberries. 



Seneca Black-cap. Rather large, dark shining purplish black, 

 very good in quality. Season medium. Canes vigorous and 

 productive. One of the best of the Black-caps. 



III. HARDY RED RASPBERRIES. 



(Rubus Strigosus, and its variations. Suckering, but not rooting 

 at the tips of the canes.} 



Allen. Two or three sorts with this name were disseminated by 

 L. F. Allen, of Black Rock, N. Y. The canes are strong, erect, 

 very hardy, and sucker profusely. When kept free from suck- 

 ers, they have produced good crops in some localities, of me- 

 dium-sized, red, pleasant fruit. 



Brandywine. Rather large, bright scarlet, handsome ; flesh firm, 

 of good quality. A very popular and profitable market sort in 

 New Jersey and elsewhere. Canes low, and of a stout dwarf 

 habit. 



HERSTINE. Large, oblong conic, bright crimson, flesh rather 

 soft, quality very good. Canes strong, light green, spines few. 

 Very productive. A new sort of high promise. Philadelphia. 



Fig. $>$.-Herstine. 



Kirtland. Medium, nearly round, red, moderately firm, sweet ; 

 canes erect, nearly smooth, becoming pale red, suckering freely, 

 hardy, productive, early. Fails in some localities.
