The Four Ttjpes of Raspberries

Clyde (B) and Enormous 

 have proved satisfactory with 

 me as medium ripeners. 



Eaverland (P) and Gaudy 

 (B) are probably our best 

 very late varieties. Haver - 

 land is a heavy producer of 

 large, long berries, but has 

 the bad habit of ripening 

 above while, white below.

four types of the raspberry, 



viz., the American Blackcap, the Native Red, European 

 Red and the Hybrids between the black and the red 

 species known as the "Purple Cane" or "Shaffer" types, 

 yet the most important classification to the grower is the 

 method of propagation. If classified according to the 

 manner in which the different species propagate, they 

 are reduced to two types, viz. (a) Blackcap, or those 

 which perpetuate themselves by layers of the tips of 

 the new growth or stolons; (b) Redcap, those which 

 propagate from root sprouts. 



Our common dewberry propagates as does the black- 

 cap raspberry, while the blackberry propagates like redcap 

 raspberries. The plants for setting new beds of the 

 blackcap type are obtained by layering the ends or tips 

 of the new canes, to induce them to take root. This, 

 however, is not necessary if favorable conditions as to 

 soil, shade and moisture prevail.
