General Remarks. 



A double pink form of ovu- 

 common Bramble, and of a 

 loose rambling nature, soon 

 forming a tangled mass. 

 The flowers consist of closely- 

 packed petals like some of 

 the double daisies, and the 

 plant itself will thrive in dry 

 sandy or stony soils. 

 A strong - growing Bramble 

 with elegantly cut leaves. It 

 is essentially a plant for the 

 wild garden, while the fruits 

 are particularly good. 

 A free upright species that 

 pushes up annual shoots like 

 the Raspberry, while tha 

 lobed leaves are decidedly 

 ornamental. The large white 

 blossoms are borne in May 

 and June. 

 Somewhat like the last, but 

 with rosy-purple blossoms 

 that are rather later in ex- 

 panding than those of R. 

 nutkanus. It thrives best 

 in partial shade. 

 A strong-growing Raspberry- 

 like plant, densely clothed 

 with hairs. It is principally 

 grown for its fruits, that are, 

 when ripe, of a bright red 

 tint, and appreciated by 

 many. But this is a pictu- 

 resque spreading shrub worth 

 growing for its colour, 

 ing and rambling growth 

 alone. It is a good bank 

 shrub, or to spread about 

 over the rougher parts of the 

 rock garden. 

 A shrub so aggressive that it 

 must go into the wild garden. 

 It forms a dense tuft 6 feet 

 high, and when laden vrith 

 its drooping purple flowers 

 is decidedly ornamental. 

 A semi-double white-flowered 

 Bramble, less effective, how- 

 ever, than the double pink. 

 Excluding the plants formerly 

 known as Edwardsia, now 

 included in Sophora, this is 

 the only well-known member 

 of the genus, and it is the 

 only one of our large-growing 

 hardy trees that flowers in 

 autumn. Regarded only 

 from a foliage point of view, 

 it forms a very handsome 

 specimen, the elegant pinnate
