THE RASPBERRY. 967 



FASTOLLF. 



Filby. 



The Fastollf Raspberry is an English variety of high reputation. It 

 derives its name from having originated near the ruins of an old castle, 

 so called, in Great Yarmouth. Canes strong, rather erect, branching, 

 light yellowish brown, with few pretty strong bristles. 



Fruit very large, obtuse or roundish conical, bright purplish red, 

 rich and high-flavored, slightly adhering to the germ in picking. 



FRANCONIA. 

 Abel. 



This was imported from Vilmorin, of Paris, under this name, by S. 

 G. Perkins, Esq., of Boston, some years ago. Its crops are abundant, 

 the fruit is firm, and bears carriage to market well, and it ripens about 

 a week later than Red Antwerp. It is one of the finest for preserving. 

 Canes strong, spreading, branching, yellowish brown, with scattered, 

 rather stout purple spines. Leaves rather large, very deep green. 



Fruit large, obtuse conical, dark purplish red, of a rich acid flavor, 

 much more tart and brisk than that of the Red Antwerp. 



Naomi so closely resembles this in growth, fruit, &c., that we ar<* 

 unable to see any difference, yet it is claimed to be a seedling, differing 

 in the canes being more hardy and the grains of less size, &c.
