D'Anvers a Fruits Ronds. See Round Antwerp. 



AUTUMN BLACK. This is a variety raised by Mr. Rivers from 

 the new race of Black Raspberries which he has for some years been 

 experimenting upon. These Black Raspberries are evidently the 

 result of a cross between the Blackberry and the Raspberry, pos- 

 sessing the rambling growth of the former with the large succulent 

 fruit of the latter. The Autumn Black produces from its summer 

 shoots a full crop of medium-sized dark fruit of the colour of the 

 Blackberry, and partaking much of its flavour. 



Ripe in October. 



BARNET (Barnet Cane; ComwelVs Prolific; CornwelV s Seedling ; 

 Larfie Red; Lord Exmouth's). The fruit is large ; roundish ovate, of 

 a bright purplish red colour. 



This is larger than the Red Antwerp, but not equal to it in flavour ; 

 it is, nevertheless, an excellent variety, and an abundant summer 

 bearer. 



Barnet Care. See Barnet. 



BAUMFORTH'S SEEDLING. This seems to be an improved 

 form of Northumberland Fittbasket, from which it was raised. The 

 berries are large, of a dark crimson colour, with an excellent flavour. 

 The plant is a vigorous grower, with dark green foliage, and has a 

 tendency to produce an autumnal crop. 



BELLE DE FONTENAY (Belle d' Orleans). An autumn-bearing 

 variety, of dwarf habit, and with large leaves, quite silvery on their 

 under surface. The fruit is large, round, of a red colour and good 

 flavour. 



Ripe in October. 



The plant is a shy bearer, and throws up suckers so profusely as to 

 be almost a weed ; but if the suckers are thinned out it bears better. 



Belle d' Orleans. See Belle de Fontenay. 



BLACK. This is a hybrid between the Blackberry and the Rasp-
