144 SMALL FRUIT CULTURIST. 



Summit YellOW Cap, Medium size, pale pink or nearly 

 white in the shade, rather dry, but very sweet ; ripens a 

 Little later than the Common Black Cap ; cranes strong and 

 vigorous, pale orange yellow, with considerable bloom ; 

 spines short, slightly hooked and rather numerous. A new 

 variety from Summit Township, Crawford County, Pa. It 

 is supposed to have originated from* seed in soil excavated 

 from a canal, at the depth of ten feet. The original plant 

 was found and transplanted by Mr. Daniel Supher. I am 

 indebted to Mr. O. T. Hobbs, of Randolph, Pa., for plants 

 of this variety and its history. 



Surprise. Very similar to the American Improved, but 

 the berries are larger, more conical, and covered with a 

 thick bloom ; sweet, sprightly and good ; a valuable vari- 

 ety. Found growing wild in Missouri. I am indebted to 

 Mr. Samuel Miller for plants of this very excellent fruit. 



Woodside, Very large, globular, bluck, with little 

 bloom ; sweet, juicy and good. Produces a second crop 

 in autumn. Figure 58 is an exact representation of a 

 cluster cut from a plant in November last. Canes light 

 crimson or dark scarlet ; spines few and very scattering. 

 Not fully tested as to productiveness., Originated in the 

 garden of one of my neighbors, from seeds sown by the 

 former owner of the place. 



CLASS II. PURPLE CANE FAMILY. 



A portion at least of the following kinds are supposed to 

 belong to the same species as the common Black Cap 

 Raspberry (fi. occidentalis). But as they have a few 

 characteristics in common, which are not found in the wild 

 black Raspberry, nor in any other species, I have placed 

 them in a list by themselves. 



This separation is not claimed to be a strictly scientific 

 one, but as a matter of convenience.
