THE RASPBERHY AND BLACKBERRY. 657 



Antwerp Red. 



Old Eed Antwerp. Howland's Red Antwerp, 



Knevett's Antwerp. Framboisier a Gros Fruit. 



True Red Antwerp. Burley. 



This is the common Red Antwei-p of England and this 

 country, and is quite distinct from the North River variety, 

 which is shorter in growth, and has a conical fruit. 



Canes strong and tall, spines light red, rather numerous and 

 pretty strong. Fruit large, nearly globular, or obtuse-conical. 

 Colour dark-red, with large grains, and covered with a thick 

 bloom. Flesh juicy, with a brisk vinous flavour. 



Antwerp. Hudson River. 

 New Red Antwerp. 



Origin unknown, but as far as we have been able to trace it, 

 was first brought to this country by the late Mr. Briggs, of 

 Poughkeepsie, N. Y., about forty years since, who obtained it 

 from the garden of the Duke of Bedford, England, who is said 

 to have paid a guinea for tAvo plants. 



Its firmness of flesh and parting readily from the germ, toge- 

 ther with its productiveness, renders it the most popular variety 

 for market. 



Canes short, but of sturdy growth, almost spineless, of a very 

 peculiar grey, or mouse colour. Fruit large, conical. Flesh 

 firm, rather dull-red, with a slight bloom ; not very juicy, but of 

 a pleasant, sweet flavour. 



Antwerp Yellow. Thomp. Lind. 

 "White Antwerp. Double-Bearing Yellow. 



The Yellow Antwerp is a large, light-coloured raspberry, and 

 with a high cultivation, a good sort, but greatly surpassed by 

 the Orange. 



Fruit large, nearly conical, pale-yellow, sweet, and of good 

 flavour. Canes strong and vigorous, light-yellow, sometimes 

 with many bristles or spines, often nearly smooth ; productive. 



American Red. 



Common Red. English Red {of some). 

 Red Prolific. 



The Common Red Raspberry is a native of this and all the 

 middle states. It ripens nearly a week earlier than the Antwerps, 

 bears well, and though inferior in flavour and size to these sorts, 

 is esteemed by many persons, particularly for flavouring liqueurs. 



Fruit of medium size, roundish, light-red, pleasant, sub-acid in
