single raspberry plant among a bill of trees ordered from an agent. 

 Probably an old variety, but known in Kansas under the names 

 mentioned. 



Kagy Everbearing. Mentioned. Ohio Expt. Sta. Kept., 1886, 

 p. 190. 



Kansas. Originated as a chance seedling on the farm of A. H. 

 Griesa, Lawrence, Kans., in 1884. Although he had growing, at 

 the same time, several hundred other seedlings from selected stock, 

 this proved more valuable than any of the others. Vigorous, hardy, 

 exceedingly thorny, rooting very readily at the tips. Fruit large, 

 ripening a week earlier than Gregg, with less bloom, juicy, fairly 

 firm, and of excellent flavor. A prominent commercial variety. 



Kellogg. A chance seedling found by George J. Kellogg, of Wis- 

 consin, about 1875. Similar to Doolittle. 



Kerr White. Large, of moderate vigor and productiveness, with 

 light yellow, pubescent fruit. 



Key Prolific (Johnston's Sweet). A black-cap found in the Ozark 

 Mountains, Ark. Grown in Iowa since about 1881. Fruit small, 

 very sweet, and excellent for drying. Reintroduced by Robert 

 Johnston, of Shortsville, N. Y., in 1886, as Johnston's Sweet. la. 

 Hort. Soc. 1887: 98. 



Kimball. Found growing wild on the farm of James Kimball, 

 near Providence, Rhode Island, in 1885. Never introduced. Mich. 

 Exp. Sta. Bull. 111:287. 



King of Cliffs. Introduced by Bradley Brothers of Illinois as an 

 everbearing black-cap. Found in 1905 around a cliff of rocks near 

 a field of Cumberland and Conrath and thought to be a cross between 

 them. Said to begin ripening with Gandy strawberries and to con- 

 tinue to bear fruit until November. Plant hardy, resembling 

 Cumberland; fruit firm, jet black, of good flavor. 



Lawrence. Originated by A. H. Griesa, Lawrence, Kans. Plants 

 vigorous, usually hardy, productive. Fruit large, fairly firm, at- 

 tractive black, fair to good. Has many points to commend it for 

 trial as a commercial berry; lacks slightly in quality. 



Lindsey. A variety said to have originated in Michigan. la. 

 Hort. Soc. Rept., 1882: 478.
