THE RASPBERRY. 593 



Ohio.* Medium in size ; black with a moderate bloom ; medium in 

 quality. Canes unusually white. Profusely productive. Season 

 early. Bears long shipping. This is the most popular berry for 

 drying. It has large seeds and shrinks less in consequence than 

 any other sort. 



Ohio Everbearing. Resembles the American Blackcap, except that 

 it has the habit of fruiting in autumn. 



Older.* Medium, round, black, firm, juicy, prolific, hardy. Mid- 

 season. Iowa. 



Ontario. Large, nearly black, with thick whitish bloom, quality 

 good. Rather early. Wayne County, N. Y.

 A good market berry. Ohio. 



Souhegan.* Medium, black. Very hardy and productive. Valu- 

 able. Quite early. New Hampshire. A standard early variety. 



Tyler.* Medium or below, round, firm, good. Early. Resembles 

 Souhegan very closely. New York. 



Purple, Red, or Yellow, 



Catawissa. Hardly medium, rather flat ; purplish-red, with a thick 

 stem ; sub-acid. Canes rather tender, producing a second crop 

 in autumn. Cutting down the whole stool in spring causes the 

 canes to bear till late in autumn. Valuable only for the garden.

 sweet. Very prolific. Canes tall, vigorous. Resembles Shaffer's 

 Colossal. New York. Mid-season. Said to be a seedling of

 acid, of good flavor. Canes very strong and vigorous, very 

 prickly, bearing large crops, which ripen for several weeks. On- 

 tario County, N. Y.

 yellow color of its fruit. But little cultivated. 



Golden Thomless. Quite large, dull yellow, firm, of moderate 

 quality. 



Purplecane. Rather small ; dark dull red : soft, sweet, good. 

 Canes long and strong, recurved. Resembles the Blackcaps in 

 rooting at the tips of the canes, but differing in the character of 

 the fruit. An old and popular variety, becoming superseded.

 good in quality. Season medium. Canes vigorous and produc- 

 tive. One of the best of the Blackcaps.
