CHAPTER XXXIV. 



VARIETIES OF OTHER SMALL FRUITS. 



I HAVE already written so fully of the leading and profit- 

 able varieties of raspberries, blackberries, currants, and 

 gooseberries, that little more remains to be said ; since, for 

 reasons previously given, I do not care to go into long de- 

 scriptions of obsolete varieties, nor of those so new and un- 

 tested as to be unknown quantities in value. I am putting 

 everything thought worthy of test in trial-beds, and hope 

 eventually to write accurately concerning them. 



RASPBERRIES. 

 Rubus Idceus and Rubus Strigosus. 



Arnold^s Orange. — Canes strong, branching, yellowish 

 brown, almost smooth, and producing but few suckers. 

 Fruit large, somewhat shorter than Brinkle's Orange, and 

 of a darker orange color ; rich in flavor. Originated with 

 Mr. Charles Arnold, Paris, Ontario, C. W. 



Antwerp (Enghsh). — See page 219. 



A?itwerp (Hudson River). — See pages 219-222. 



Antwerp (Yellow — White Antv^'erp). — A tender variety 

 that needs winter protection, good culture, and vigorous 

 pruning; otherwise, the berries are imperfect and crumble 

 badly in picking. The fruit is exceedingly delicate and soft, 

 and must be picked as soon as ripe or it cannot be haadled.
