 tion. Received June 19, 1923. 



"The Hawaiian giant raspberry, occurring at an 

 altitude of about 6,000 feet. It is a straight bush 

 with the older branches thornless. The fruits, 

 borne at the drooping tips of the branches, are very 

 numerous, about 2 inches in diameter, and exceed- 

 ingly juicy; the seeds are comparatively small. 

 The flesb is slightly bitter but otherwise delicious. 

 This berry is of great promise, as it grows in a region 

 where frost is not uncommon in the winter months. 

 It should grow well in the regions of the Pacific 

 coast." (/. F. Rock.)

 Rosacese. Raspberry. 



From Nairn Tal, United Provinces, India. 

 Seeds presented bv Rev. X. L. Rockey. 

 Received June 18, 1923. 



"This is the most common wild yellow rasp- 

 berry, which grows here in great profusion. The 

 bush is tall, thorny, and hairy. The fruit, which 

 ripens in early May, is a trifle insipid in its sweet- 

 ness and full of seeds, but it is very tender and we 

 enjoy it. I believe it will be valuable for breeding 

 purposes. The native name is hissauloo."
