Varieties of Black Raspberries 155 



Golden-cap. A seedling of the American White-cap, originating 

 in Cedar county, Iowa. 



Golden Thornless. Introduced from Minnesota, by Purdy & 

 Johnston, of Palmyra, N. Y., previous to 1869. 



Gray. Mentioned, Kept. Worcester Hort. Soc., 1881: 24. 



Green. Discovered on the grounds of Green's Nursery Company, 

 of Rochester. N. Y., about 1890. 



Gregg (Great Western, Hoosier Mammoth, Western Triumph). 

 Found growing wild in a ravine on the Gregg farm, in Ohio county, 

 Indiana, in 1866. Largely introduced by N. Ohmer, of Dayton, 

 Ohio, who first saw the fruit on exhibition in 1875. Canes large, 

 upright, very vigorous, possessing an abundance of bloom and a 

 peculiar clean, smooth appearance. More difficult to propagate 

 than many other sorts, owing to its upright, vigorous habit. Fruit 

 large, roundish oblate, with a very decided gray bloom. Flesh very 

 firm, only moderately juicy and sweet. Season late. One of the 

 best known and most popular late varieties. It is uniformly healthy 

 and productive, though slightly lacking in hardiness, especially on 

 heavy soils. The plant is slower to develop than most other varieties, 

 but is also slower to decline, remaining longer in profitable condition. 

 Though not of the highest quality, it is a good berry, and its excellent 

 shipping qualities render it especially adapted to market. It is also 

 an excellent variety for evaporating, especially where fruit is picked 

 by hand. It clings so tightly that it is not easily gathered with the 

 berry harvester. 



Hale Early. Sent out for trial by G. H. & J. H. Hale, of South 

 Glastonbury, Conn., but never introduced. 



Hamilton Mentioned by Downing as from Shelby Co., Tenn. 



Hannibal (Extra Late). Described as a large, fine berry of ex- 

 cellent quality. Apparently vigorous and productive, being several 

 days later than Gregg. Originated with W. J. Bradt, of North 

 Hannibal, N. Y. Kept. U. S. Dept. of Agr., 1892. 



Harrison. Named in honor of President Harrison by Henry S. 

 Harris, of White Lane, Salem county, N. J., who found it in a neigh- 

 bor's garden many years ago. 



Haskell Yellow. Taken from Massachusetts to Illinois by Dr. 

 Haskell, about 1836. Mich. Exp. Sta. Bull. Ill: 281.
