II. BLACK-CAPS AND THEIR VARIETIES. 

 (Rooting at the tips of the Canes.) 



American Black-cap. The common Black-cap, with its many 

 variations, growing wild throughout the country, distinguished 

 by its long recurved canes, and its regular, nearly round, or 

 hemispherical berries, is the type of this division. 



Cataiuissa. Hardly medium, rather flat, purplish red, with a 

 thick bloom, sub-acid. Canes rather tender, -producing a 

 second crop in autumn. Cutting down the whole stool in spring 

 causes the canes to bear till late in autumn. Valuable only for 

 the garden. Pennsylvania. 



Davisorfs Thornless. Medium in size, resembling the American 

 Black-cap, but a week earlier, sweeter, and with canes nearly 

 free from prickles. Gowanda, N. Y. 



DOOLITTLE. (Joslyn's Improved, Improved Black-cap.) Full 

 medium in size, black, sweet ; a large variety of the wild Black 

 Raspberry. Ripens early. Canes strong, with numerous prickles, 

 productive. Has been extensively cultivated for market in 

 many of the States. Ontario Co., N. Y. 



Ellisdale. Rather large, dark dull red, flavor good ; canes strong 

 and vigorous. 



Ganargua. Large, full and well rounded, reddish purple, sub- 

 acid, of good flavor. Canes very strong -and vigorous, very 

 prickly, bearing large crops, which ripen for several weeks. 

 Ontario Co., N. Y. New. 



Golden Cap. Resembles the American Black-cap, except in the 

 yellow color of its fruit. But little cultivated. 



Golden Thornless. Quite large, dull yellow, firm, of moderate 

 quality.
