MOST GENERALLY ESTEEMED. 469 



Mrs. Wilder. 



Seedling of Col. Wilder, which it so nearly resembles as not to require 

 distinct description. 



Northumberland Fillbasket. 



A new foreign variety. A strong, vigorous grower, with numerous 

 rather strong, crimson-colored spines. Fruit, somewhat globular or obtuse 

 conical, deep red, with a good, pleasant, slightly acid flavor. Productive. 



Ohio Ever-bearing. 



Ohio Easpberiy. 

 Native of Ohio, and differing from the American Black only in producing 

 two crops in a year. By many esteemed very desirable. 



Orange. 



This variety was grown by Dr. Brinckle from seed in 1844. On account 

 of being more hardy, it will probably supersede the Yellow Antwerp, while 

 its late period of ripening will render it highly valuable for marketing. 

 Shoots, vigorous, with white spines ; leaf, irregular. Fruit, large, ovate, 

 beautiful bright orange color, and of excellent flavor. Productive. By 

 many this is regarded as the best of all the varieties originated by Dr. 

 Brinckle, 



Thunderer. 



A new variety lately introduced from England, and which very much 

 resembles Franconia. It promises equally valuable. 



Yellow Antwerp. 



"White Antwerp, | Double-bearing Yellow. 



This variety is only suited to small gardens, and even there, we presume, 

 will soon give place to the Col. Wilder and Orange. It sometimes throws 

 up a succession of shoots, maturing fruit for a long time, whence its 

 synonym of Double-bearing. Shoots, strong, light yellow, with greenish 

 spines. Fruit, large, conical, pale yellow, sweet, and excellent. Requires 

 protection in Winter. In our Southern States, the Antwerp varieties are 

 said to fail. 



Walker. 



Seedling grown by Dr. Brinckle, which promises to be valuable as a 

 market variety. It is yet little known out of Philadelphia. Fruit, large, 

 round, deep crimson, solid, adheres firmly to the stem, keeps long in per 

 fection on the plant , and bears carriage well ; spines, red. 



Woodward. 



liaised by Dr. Brinckle. This is one of the smallest varieties, though 

 larger than the ordinary wild raspberry. Fruit, round, sometimes roundish 

 ovate, crimson ; red spines. Has ripened as early as the tenth of June.
