Red Antwerp. Canes dark brown, long, short-jointed. Frui 

 fairlj thimble-shaped. Flesh firm, rich, juicy, with a fine, 

 sweet flavor. Ripe about the fourth of July. There is a va- 

 riety called Red Antwerp generally cultivated, with small fruit, 

 readily broken into pieces, and wood of a reduish-brown color. 



Franconia, is a hardier variety than the former, and doea 

 better in colder latitudes. Fruit large, conical, of a bright red 

 color. Flesh firm ; flavor sharp ; rich and abundant. Ripe 

 about the middle of July. 



White, or Yellow Antwerp. Fruit nearly as large as the 

 Red Antwerp ; of the same shape. Flesh yellow, very tender, 

 rich, and very swaet. Wood yellow ; a great bearer. 



Fastolff. Within the past few years this variety though) 

 an old one with a new name) has created quite an excitement 

 in England, and not a little in this country. We fruited it 

 two years ago, and consider it one of the best reds, though wo 

 do not think it the very best. Fruit very large ; of an oval, 

 conical form. Flesh very rich, juice abundant, and makes a 

 beautiful dessert fruit. It will never be a popular market 

 fruit, being so soft that it will not bear carriage, but will hold 

 *ts place for home consumption. Ripe 4th of July. 



Ohio Ever-bearing. Fruit conical ; color black ; large size, 

 produced in clusters on the points of the shoots. Flesh dark- 

 red, juice not very abundant, produces through the whole sea- 

 son till frost, and quite indispensaable on this account. Wood 

 strong, of a dark purple color. 



There are several very astonishing and superior Raspberries 

 raised from seed by an amateur gentleman of this city, some 

 of them of a beautiful orange, and others of a bright amber 

 color, whose true characters will be known in another year. 



PROPAGATION. This is of the easiest character. Give tho 

 plants rich, deep, sandy loamy soil, and they will s^nd up an 

 abundance of suckers every season, each of which will form 

 a plant and produce fruit the year following.
