178 THE RASPBERRY. 



family, rooting at the tips of the young canes, but the berries ar© 

 of a deep dull orange. It is the most productive and the berries 

 are the largest of any of the YeUow American Easpberries. 

 The canes are very nearly thornless, moderately vigorous, per- 

 fectly hardy, and enormously productive. The berries are about 

 the size of the Mammoth Cluster, very firm, juicy, and pleasant, 

 buir not high flavored. We have never seen any of the Ameri- 

 can YeUow Easpberries that were equal in flavor to the Black 

 Caps, but this variety is the most desirable and valuable 

 of any of the Yellows, and makes a very pleasing addition to 

 one's list of sorts. 



Hornet. — A European variety, not as hardy as woidd be 

 desirable, though thriving well where the winter snows are deep. 

 The berry is very large, showy, deep crimson, juicy, and of iine 

 flavor. 



Imperial. — We have found this variety more hardy and 

 more productive than Hornet, and the fruit nearly equal to it in 

 size, of a bright red color, tolerably firm, juicy, and of excellent 

 flavor. 



Knevet's Giant.— An old English variety that deserves more 

 attention than it has received. It is a very strong grower, nearly 

 as hardy as the Eranconia, quite hardy when there are deep 

 snows through the winter, and exceedingly productive. The 

 berries are of the very largest size, of a deep red color, quite 

 firm, juicy, and of excellent flavor. We fully beheve that in the 

 vicinity of Ottawa and Montreal it might be profitably grown for 

 market, and would certainly be one of the most attractive berries 

 that could bo introduced. 



Lum's Everbearing — Avtumn Black Cap. — ^A very produc- 

 tive fall-bearing variety of the Black Cap. The berries are 

 about the usual size of the fruit in this class, and perhaaps a 

 little more juicy. In most of our country it will be found neces- 

 sary to cut down aU the canes in the spring even with the 

 ground, and not seek to obtain the double crop, for unless this is 

 done, the autumn crop will not ripen before the frosts set in.
