THE RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY. 661 



solid; adheres firmly to the stem; keeps long in perfection on 

 the plant ; bears carriage well. Promises to be valuable as a 

 market variety. Red spines. (Hort.) 



Woodward. 



Raised by Dr. Brinckle. This is one of the smallest varieties, 

 though larger than the ordinary wild raspberry. Fruit round, 

 sometimes roundish-ovate ; crimson ; red spines ; has ripened 

 as early as the 10th of June. (Wilder in Hort.) 



Autumnal Raspberries. 



The ever-bearing foreign varieties have not given general 

 satisfaction in this country ; our dry, hot summers seem to be 

 unfavourable for a full crop. Cut the canes to the ground in 

 the spring, and the young shoots will give a fair crop in the 

 autumn, if the season is moist and favourable. They are only 

 worthy the attention of amateurs. 



Belle de Fontenay, 

 A dwarf-growing variety with large and deep green leaves ; 

 bears large fruit all the autumn of good flavour, but requires 

 warm soil and exposure. (Hort.) 



Catawissa. 



A native of Columbia Co., Penn. Vigorous and very pro- 

 ductive. Fruit medium size, flattened ; dark crimson, covered 

 with thick bloom ; flavour sprightly, rather acid, more suited to 

 the amateur than for general cultivation. Commences ripening 

 about the first of August, and continues in use a long time. 



Double Bearing.

A variety of the Antwerp ; formerly esteemed for its habit 

 of bearing late in the season ; but is now surpassed by better 

 kinds.

 soft, sweet, and excellent. Canes moderately strong, upright ;

 most abundant bearer ; its spikes of fruit are often twelve or 

 eighteen inches long, and produced till the end of October. (Hort.)
