THK RASPBERRY. 



PHILADELPHIA. Old and good, but replaced by Cuthbert. 



ERANDYWiNE.-Old and still grown, but lacking in size. 



GOLDEN QUEEN. This berry, though yellow, may be men- 

 tioned here, as it much resembles Cuthbert, except in color. 



WORTHY. A new variety, 

 a seedling of Turner crossed 

 with Philadelphia. Much 

 commended in New England. 



Charles Wright mentions 

 MARION'S FAVORITE, KENYON 

 and WINANT as varieties of 

 promise. W. D. Barns speaks 

 a good word for WARD. CO- 

 LUMBIAN has also been men- 

 tioned favorably. There are, 

 no doubt, many more prom- 

 ising new raspberries with 

 which I am not acquainted. WORTHY, A VERY BUSHY VARIETY 



PURPLE VARIETIES. 



There are several purple varieties catalogued by seedsmen 

 and nurserymen, but I shall mention only one. The purple 

 varieties are not generally popular. 



SHAFFER. The only purple variety widely grown. An excel- 

 lent fruit for either table or market. The canes are strong and 

 large, and demand more room than ordinary sorts. 



BLACK VARIETIES OR BLACKCAPS- 



GREGG. The best known and most popular market sort. 



KANSAS. A new variety of great size and excellence. 



PALMER. Similar in some respects to Kansas ; early and good. 



EUREKA. Another large new variety. 



LOVETT. A satisfactory sort in many places. 



OLDER. A variety of high quality. 



Gregg, Kansas and Older are shown on colored Plate XI ; 

 Palmer and Lovett on colored Plate XII. 



New plants of the black raspberry are started in September 

 by covering the tips with moist soil, two or three inches deep, 

 and allowing them to remain until spring. 



I have unavoidably omitted the names of many blackcaps ; 

 some good ones, no doubt. My own choice of two would be 

 Gregg and Kansas.
