THE RASPBERRY. 



FRENCH. 



Vice-President French. 



This is a seedling of Fastolf crossed with Yellow Antwerp, origin- 

 ated with Dr. Brinckle, and is yet little known. Fruit, large, round, 

 crimson, matures late ; spines, red. 



FRANCONIA. 



Introduced to this country from France, under this name; but not 

 to be found in any foreign catalogue to which we have had access. 

 Its canes are nearly hardy ; maturing good crops, without protec- 

 tion, four years out of five. Shoots, strong, branching, yellowish 

 brown, with scattered, rather stout bristles ; leaves, rather narrow ; 

 fruit, large, obtuse conical, dark, rich red, rich, rather acid flavor ; 

 more firm than Fastolf, and not as much so as Red Antwerp. A 

 few days later than the latter in ripening. 



FULTON. 



From seed of French, fruit, large, round, crimson; productive, 

 and a vigorous grower ; spines, red. One of Dr. Brinckle's origin. 



GENERAL PATTERSON. 



Seedling of the Colonel Wilder ; vigorous grower. 

 fruit, large, round, crimson. 



Spines, red ; 



KNEVETT'S GIANT. 



Imported from England 

 by Col. Wilder, in 1843. 

 This raspberry has proved 

 more hardy than any other 

 foreign variety, requiring 

 no protection, and produc- 

 ing uniformly large crops 

 of fruit. Its texture being 

 firm, it will be found pro- 

 fitable to grow for market. 

 Canes, strong, upright, dis- 

 posed to branch ; fruit, 

 large, obtuse, conical or 

 roundish, deep red, and of 

 excellent flavor.
