berry, and is the parent of all the black autumn-bearing varieties, 

 although itself a summer bearer. It has long, dark-coloured canes 

 and small purple fruit, with much of the Blackberry flavour. This 

 variety was obtained at Weathersfield, in Essex, upwards of forty years 

 ago, and has since been cultivated by Mr. Kivers, who has succeeded 

 in obtaining from it his new race of autumn-bearing black varieties. 



BLACK CAP (American Black). This is the Rubus occidentalis, 

 called Black Raspberry, or Thimbleberry, by the Americans. The 

 fruit has a fine, brisk, acid flavour, and is much used in America for 

 pies and puddings. 



It ripens later than the other summer-bearing varieties.

 variety.
