NEW FEUITS. 57 



valuable market variety, although it is not firm enough to 

 bear long carriage. 



Garden Raspherry. — This ^\as sent out by Mr. H. H. 

 Doolittle last season under the name of Red-flavored 

 Black Raspberry, but has been re-named as above. Our 

 plants have not yet fruited, and we have seen no report 

 the past season in regard to its merits. 



LmiTbS Everbearing,' — Nearly related to the old Ohio 

 Everbearing, but said to be better in quality and more 

 prolific. New, not yet fully tested. From H. B. Lum, 

 Sandusky, Ohio. 



Mrs. Wood.— This, is also from Ohio. Mr. F. R. Elliott, 

 who has been acquainted with it for several years, says 

 that it is the largest of the black raspberries. Figured 

 and described in Horticulturist, August, 1867. 



Naomi. — Plants received for the ISTaomi have borne 

 fruit, but not equal to the description we received. It is 

 quite probable that they are not the genuine variety, as 

 we have learned that the original stock was mixed with 

 inferior sorts. One gentleman who was well acquainted 

 with the Naomi when it was growing in the grounds of 

 Mrs. Wood, informs us that he had only sixteen genuine 

 plants in the one hundred he received from the original bed. 



We have lately secured a few plants propagated from 

 these sixteen plants, and shall have an opportunity the 

 coming season of comparing them with plants received 

 from another source. The Naomi is no doubt a valuable 

 new variety, but from what we can learn of the stock 

 offered to the public, there is a possibility of its being 

 somewhat mixed with inferior sorts.
