180 BUSH-FRUITS 



Shaffer, much shorter, propagating by suckers. Fruit larger than 

 Shaffer, bright red. Mich. Exp. Sta. Bull. Ill: 269. 



Duncan. A hybrid between Gregg and Cuthbert, produced by 

 Professor William Saunders, of Ontario. Described as having 

 large, purple fruit, of better quality than the Shaffer, ripening 

 later, and very productive. Canes strong, vigorous, propagating 

 both by suckers and by tips. 



Early Prolific. A seedling raised from the Philadelphia by 

 Oscar Felton, of Camden county, N. J. Crozier states* that it 

 is several generations removed from the Philadelphia. Hardy, 

 productive, free from thorns. Fruit firm, of good size, with a 

 harsh and acid flavor. 



Ellisdale.A. variety of the Purple -cane type, found growing 

 wild on the Ellisdaie farm, in Iowa, in 1856, by J. E. Johnson. 

 Introduced by H. A. Terry, of Crescent, Iowa. Canes strong, 

 light red, smooth, with a few straight spines near the base and 

 an occasional hooked one on the upper portion; propagating by 

 tips. Fruit large, roundish oval, light purple, with a whitish 

 bloom; rather firm, and of good quality. Elsdale, from Nebraska, 

 mentioned in Hovey's Magazine 1865: 122, is probably this. 



Eureka. A seedling of the third generation from Shaffer, 

 being larger and brighter red; also said to be more compact in 

 habit, and more productive. Originated with Luther Burbank. 



Ganargua. Found growing wild by Stephen Katkamier, of 

 Farmington, Ontario county, N. Y., about 1867. Described as a 

 vigorous grower, hardy, early, and productive, possessing the 

 everbearing habit; spines numerous. Fruit large, delicate, and 

 juicy, reasonably firm, dark red, approaching purplish brown. 

 Propagates from tips. 



Garden (Doolittle's Red Flavored Black-Cap). A variety in- 

 troduced by H. H. Doolittle, of Oaks Corners, N. Y. The Purple - 

 cane raspberry was also known under this name. Whether this 

 is the same, or whether, indeed, it might have been a true black- 

 cap, it is difficult to say. 



Gardiner. Mentioned as a new variety of unknown origin, 

 intermediate between the Purple -cane and the black -cap. 



Garnet. A seedling of the Philadelphia, produced in 1885 by 

 Professor William Saunders, of London, Ont. Described as
