merous culinary and confectionery 
articles, as well as in liqueurs. The 
raspberry requires a vegetable soil, < 
rather moist, soft, and not very ¥ 
deep ; because most of the roots, 
like those of all other plants that 
throw up numerous suckers, keep 
near the surface; and the situation 
should be shaded, rather than fully 
exposed to the meridian sun. Ina 
wild state, it is almost always found 
more or less shaded by trees, but 
not under their drip; and in woods, 
the situation of which is rather low 
and moist, than hilly and rocky or 
dry. The root belongs to that description which is called travelling; that is, 
the suckers extend themselves all round the central plant, so as every year 
to come up in fresh soil. Hence, as Miller observes, a raspberry plantation 
requires to be renewed every five or six years.

The appearance of this plant is that of the 
common bramble, except in the leaflets, which, 
from their being deeply cut, are strikingly different. 
Where it was first found is unknown; but it is, in 
all probability, only a variety of the common bramble, analogous to the cut- 
leaved variety of the elder (Sambucus nigra laciniata.) H. S.
