133 THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF FRUITS. 



6. Davidson's Thornle^s. — A good variety "with stems almost 

 devoid of thorns, bat with very fine spines on the under side of the 

 leaves. This is a good grower, quite hardy, and, excepting that it 

 is not as prolific as other black-caps, would be a valuable sort. It 

 is very generally deemed a moderate bearer. In localities where it 

 can be made to yield well it should always find a place. 



7. Ohio Everbearing. — Another good black-cap, large, and of 

 fair quality. It produces a moderate crop on second year's growth, 

 and afterwards a moderate yield in September from the tips of new 

 growth. Both crops, however, seldom equal the one crop of the 

 Doolittle or Mammoth Cluster. 



8. Lum's Everbearing. — Of similar habits with the Ohio ; said 

 to be a better berry. Not yet extensively known. 



9. Catawissa. — A dark red or purple berry of good quality on 

 everbearing canes. Not so prolific and not so well known as the 

 Ohio, and not regarded as of special value. 



10. Purple Cane. — A rampant grower, not so prolific as the 

 blacks; producing moderate crops of a soft, bright, red berry of 

 fine quality, but unfit for market. Its canes are of a purple hue. 



Of those propagated by suckers we have — 



11. The Old Red Antwerp. — Which has been propagated for 

 scores of years, and is the presumed progenitor of many of the later 

 red sorts on the one side. It has given place in a great degree to— 



12. Hudson River Antwerp.— A sort which has been long the 

 great market berry along the Hudson river and other localities east. 

 It is a large, long bearing variety, early, and of a musky flavor. It 

 has declined of late years, and is giving place to newer sorts. 



13. Franconia. — A large and good- flavored berry, also of for- 

 eign origin, and like most of them rather tender without winter 

 protection. 



14. Hornet. — A fine large berry, not widely known, and of un- 

 certain character. In favorable situations it is much esteemed. 



15. Clarke. — A soft, rich, large and beautiful crimson berry, 

 highly praised in some quarters, but often condemned. It is 

 among the hardiest of the red sorts, but in northern localities needa 

 winter protection.
