THE RASPBERRY. 



early in August. This character will probably make it valuable when 

 raspberry canes are liable to be destroyed by the colds in Winter. 



ANTWERP. 



New Red Antwerp. | True Red Antwerp. 

 Although universally desired, it is 

 rare that the true Red Antwerp rasp- 

 berry is found West of the State of 

 New York. It is a Dutch sort, ori- 

 ginally from Antwerp city. An exa- 

 mination of the Red Antwerp as im- 

 ported from several sources, all of 

 which prove incorrect, leads us to 

 doubt whether it is better known in 

 the old country than here. The 

 common Red Antwerp is easily de- 

 tected in its fruit being smaller and 

 round, while that of the true is large, 

 regularly long conical, dull red, with 

 a rich, sweet flavor. Canes, mode- 

 rately strong, yellowish green, be- 

 coming pale brown or mouse color, 

 oarly in Autumn, covered below with dark brown spines, but the upper 

 portions, especially of the bearing wood, nearly smooth. Ripens from first 

 to tenth July. The canes need protection in Winter throughout Northern 

 sections, in order to secure a full crop. 



COLONEL WILDER. 



Another seedling of Dr. Brinckle's. 

 Shoots, strong, light-colored. Fruit, 

 above medium, roundish conical, light 

 cream color, firm, with a sprightly, 

 fine flavor; moderately productive, 

 ripening its fruit in succession, from 

 early until quite late in the season. 

 Raised from seed of the Fastolf, and 

 named in honor of one of the best 

 pomologists in America. 



COPE. 



A seedling of Dr. Brinckle's ; promises well. Foliage, light green. Fruit) 

 large, conical, crimson: spines, red. 



GUSHING. 



This fine raspberry was raised from seed of the Double-bearing, by Dr. 

 Brinckle, of Philadelphia, in 1844. It promises well; should receive atten- 

 tion of amateurs. Shoots, strong, vigorous ; prickles, brown ; leaf, plaited, 

 regular form. Fruit, large, roundish conical, crimson, and of fine flavor. 

 Matures early.
