208 BUSH-FRUITS 



productive of large, light colored berries that melt on the tongue. 

 It always requires winter protection." 



Palluau. A French variety. Described by Downing as strong, 

 vigorous and upright, bearing large, conical fruit, a little obtuse; 

 bright, light crimson. 



Papier. An old French variety. Known also as Le Noire or 

 Tue-Homme. First introduced about 1820 at Bagnolet, near Paris, 

 the chief seat of raspberry culture for the Paris market, whence 

 many of the foreign sorts have been obtained. It is said to have 

 been soon superseded by other sorts because of its short fruit 

 stalk, raspberries there being gathered with the stems attached. 

 Introduced into the United States by Aubrey & Souchet. 



Parnell. Said to be a seedling of Merveille des Quatre 

 Saisons, raised by Mr. Parnell, of Cincinnati.* Reported to stand 

 the winter well, but to be easily injured by summer sun. Vig- 

 orous, productive, medium to large sized, dull red, with slight 

 bloom, of fair quality. 



Patrician. Said to have been applied by E. P. Roe as a tem- 

 porary name to a variety imported from France by Mr. Downing, 

 the name of which had been lost. It was said to be vigorous and 

 productive, with fruit larger than Cuthbert, and of fine llavor. 



Pilate. A French variety, introduced into the United States by 

 Aubrey & Souchet, of New Jersey. 



Pride of Kent. Originated by Mr. Fallstaff, of Kent, England. 

 Imported about 1887 by Henry King, of Jefferson, Colo., and 

 introduced to public notice in 1892 by R. S. Edwards, of High- 

 land, Colo. A typical Ideeus variety. Fruit of fair size, color 

 and flavor, but showing little evidence of productiveness. 



Pride of the Hudson. A chance seedling, which originated in 

 the garden of T. H. Roe, of Newburg, N. Y., about 1872, and 

 gave most unusual promise. It was propagated and introduced 

 by E. P. Roe, but in spite of the glowing indications of its 

 youth, it proved a failure when grown under ordinary conditions. 

 Though apparently resisting cold without injury, it suffered under 

 the summer sun, and soon passed out of favor. The account of 

 its origin and subsequent downfall, as given by Roe in " Success 

 with Small Fruits," well illustrates the fickleness which these 

 children of the garden may sometimes show. It was described as 

 strong, vigorous, with large corrugated leaves, very productive, 

 of excellent quality, scarlet- crimson, but too soft for market. 



Prince of Wales (Cutbush's Prince of Wales). An English 

 variety, mentioned by Downing as a strong, upright bush, with 

 purple spines and large, conical crimson fruit.
