The Red and Hybrid Raspberries 165 



Wade. Found by John Wade, of Veedersburg, Ind., in the 

 Spring of 1884, under a grape trellis where birds had dropped the 

 seed. Described by him as an ironclad variety, wonderfully pro- 

 ductive. Fruit showy black, firm, of superior quality, ripening about 

 with Souhegan. 



Westchester. A chance seedling, found in 1861 in the garden. of 

 Levi J. Mabie, of Tarrytown, Westchester county, N. Y. Mich. 

 Exp. Sta. Bull. Ill :318. 



Winfield. A midseason variety. 



Winona. An Ohio variety, introduced in 1890. 



Wonder. An everbearing variety, originating with J. H. Robbins, 

 of Arcadia, Ind. Mich. Exp. Sta. Bull. Ill : 319. 



Woodside. Originated in New York, from seed sown in a garden. 

 Produces a second crop in autumn. Fuller. 



Wragg. An Ohio variety on trial in Michigan. 



Yellow Pearl. A yellow-cap variety often producing a fall crop. 

 Downing. 



Yosemite. A rampant grower, and very thorny; berries large and 

 of poor quality. Cal. Hort. Kept. 1885: 233. Perhaps of Rubus 

 leucodermis parentage. 



Recommended varieties of black-caps. Kansas and Plum 

 Farmer (Plate II) are perhaps the two most popular black- 

 caps at the present day, having largely replaced such 

 varieties as Tyler and Palmer. Gregg is still the standard 

 late berry, though the Nemaha is preferred in places, 

 while Ohio is the great berry for evaporating purposes. 

 Other varieties well and favorably known are Cumberland, 

 Lotta and Older.
