518 THE BLACKBERRY. 



11. KNEVET'S GIANT. 



A capital English Raspberry, a variety of Red Antwerp, 

 ripening among the very earliest. Its canes are very strong, 

 and quite hardy. The fruit is very large, conical, deep red, 

 and of excellent flavour 



12. NOTTINGHAM SCARLET. 



An excellent variety, introduced from England by Col. 

 Wilder, of Boston. He considers it the richest in flavour of 

 any of the older varieties. The fruit is red, obtuse-conical, of 

 medium size. 



13. OHIO, EVERBEARING. 

 Ohio Raspberry. Ken. 



This is a native of Ohio, and was first made known to 

 Eastern cultivators by Mr. Longworth, of Cincinnati, though, 

 we believe, it had been cultivated for some time previous, at a 

 Quaker settlement, in Ohio. It is precisely like the American 

 Black Raspberry, or Black-cap, in all respects, except that it 

 has the valuable property of bearing abundant crops of fine fruit, 

 till late in the season. We have seen a quart gathered from a 

 single plant, on the 1st day of November. It deserves a place 

 in every large garden. 



14. VICTORIA. 



A new English seedling of high reputation, not yet fairly 

 tested here. It is said to resemble and fully equal the Red 

 Antwerp, in size and flavour, and to be everbearing in its habits 

 producing an abundant crop from July to December, on nu- 

 merous side branches which it throws out, from eighteen inches 

 to two feet long. Its value will soon be fully proved in this 

 country. 



II. THE BLACKBERRY. 



There are several species of the Bramble indigenous to this 

 country, which produce eatable fruit, but the two best for the 

 table, or for cooking, are the Low Blackberry, a trailing shrub, 

 and the High Blackberry, a bush about four or five feet high. 



The fruit is larger than that of the Raspberry, with fewer and 

 larger grains, and a brisker flavour. It ripens about the last 

 of July, or early in August, after the former is past, and is
