RASPBERRIES. 



C'"^!tiiig. Large, roundish conical, crimson, of fine flavor. 

 Karly. Raised by Dr. Brinckle. 



KiievetCs Giant. Large, obtuse conical, deep red, flavor excel- 

 cellent. A sub-variety, of the Red Antwerp, hardier than 

 the latter, and very productive. 



Large-Fruited Monthly. Above medium, roundish, of fine 

 flavor. Hardy. Needs close pruning in spring. 



Orange. Large, ovate, color a beautiful bright orange, flavor 

 excellent. Hardy and productive. Raised by Dr. Brinckle, 

 of Philadelphia, and regarded by some as the best of all 

 raspberries. 



BLACKBERRIES. 



The New Rochelle (or Lawton) Blackberry appears to be 

 the finest and most desirable variety yet cultivated. It is very 

 hirge, roundish-ovate, and exceedingly productive, if properly 

 pruned. Charles Downing says, " A dozen bushes or so, in 

 full bearing, will give fruit sufficient for an ordinary family 

 for some six weeks." 



The High Bush Blackberry is also a very valuable sort ; 

 the berries are oblong, often an inch and a half in length, and 

 the bushes are very productive if well pruned and cultivated. 



GRAPES. 



Concord. A new Massachusetts variety, very large, (resem- 

 bling externally the finest bunches of Black Hamburgh,) dark 

 purple, bunches large, flavor good, but not equal to that of the 

 Isabella — one or two weeks earlier than the latter sort, pro- 

 ductive and hardy, 



York Madeira. A hardy American sort, the growth resem- 

 oling that of the Isabella, but shorter jointed, the fruit and 

 Dunches smaller, and freer from pulp. An excellent, hardy 

 Bort, confounded by Downing with the Alexander, but totally 

 distinct.
