A hybrid from Raspberry Belle de Fontenay, the seed parent, and the common 

 Blackberry of English hedges. 



The habit of the plant is fairly intermediate between the two, but inclines 

 rather to that of the Blackberry. The fruits large, red-violet in colour, are of 

 brisk and pleasant flavour, in which that of the Raspberry can be distinctly 

 detected. The most valuable quality, the period of ripening, is after that of the 

 Raspberry, and before the Blackberry.
