Rubiis cccidcntalis. 



For descriptions of Davison's ThoniksSy DooUttky or 

 American Improved^ Manunoth Cluster^ and Gregg^ see 

 chapter xxii. 



American Black. — Common black-cap raspberry, found 

 wild throughout the United States. Too well known to 

 need description. 



American White- Cap (Yellow-Cap, Golden-Cap). — 

 " Also scattered widely throughout the country, but not 

 common. Those who discover it often imagine that they 

 have found something new and rare. Berries^ slightly oval, 

 grains larger than those of the black-cap, yellow, with a 

 white bloom. The canes are light yellow, strong, stocky, 

 with but few spines. Propagated from the tips. It might 

 become the parent of very fine varieties." (Fuller.) 



Miami Black- Cap. — A vigorous, productive variety, 

 found growing near the Miami River, in Ohio. The fruit 

 approaches a brownish red in color, and is not equal to 

 the Mammoth Cluster in value. 



Philadelphia. — See page 238. 



Seneca Black-cap. — Raised by Mr. Dell, of Seneca Co., 

 N. Y. The fruit is between the Doolittle and Mammoth 

 Cluster in size, and is later than the former ; not so black, 

 having a shade of purple, and is juicy, sweet, and good. 



Lum's Everbearing, and Ohio Evei'bearing Black Rasp- 

 berries. — Varieties that resemble each other. If a good 

 autumn crop is desired, cut away the canes in the spring, 

 so as to secure a strong early growth of new wood, on which 

 the fruit is to be borne. 



Golden Thornless. — A large variety of the American 

 White- Cap, introduced by Purdy & Johnson, Palmyra, 

 N. Y.
