146 SUCCESSFUL FKUIT CULTURE 



Columbian — A more vigorous plant than the last, 

 and very productive, but the fruit is not of as good 

 quality. 



Numerous other varieties of this type have been 

 introduced, but all of them are of the same dark red 

 color that is not attractive in the market, and none of 

 them should be planted largely for market unless there 

 is a certainty of a demand for them. 



YELLOW RASPBERRIES 



Yellow varieties, or albinos, of the blackcap and the 

 red raspberry, are listed in most nursery catalogs, but 

 they are of little value in the market, as they are not 

 attractive, and are not of as good quality as the red or 

 black varieties. The best among the yellow raspberries 

 is the Golden Queen or Yellow Cuthbert, which is sup- 

 posed to be a white or albino form of the latter. When 

 first picked it looks well, but it soon turns to a brown 

 color. The yellowcap raspberry and the white black- 

 berry are of no commercial value and are to be planted 

 only as curiosities.
