 hoe; prune out the old dead canes every spring. A fine 

 late crop can readily be'obtained by cutting over the

 for the dessert are the Red and White Antwerp, < Juthbert,

 American Black is preferred by most persons for cooking.

 the season of this fruit. 



Red Antwerp (A*. Idoeus). — This variety is also known 

 as Old Red Antwerp, Knevett's Antwerp, True Red Ant- 

 werp, Ilowland's lied Antwerp, Burley, etc. It is the 

 common lied Antwerp of England and America, and is 

 quite distinct from the North River variety, which is 

 shorter in growth, and has conical-shaped fruit. Canes 

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

 pretty strong; fruit large, nearly globular, color dark red, 

 with large grains, and covered with a thick bloom; juicy, 

 with a brisk vinous flavor. 



Fastolf (R. Idoeus). — One of the most vigorous of the 

 foreign varieties, and does very well in Georgia. Fruit 

 very large, roundish, conical, purplish-red; tender, rich, 

 and high -flavored. Canes strong, erect, branching, with 

 strong spines. The foregoing are all that we can recom- 

 mend for Southern cultivation from personal experience.
