RASPBERRIES.

The Pomological Magazine gives the following very correct 

 description of this valuable variety : " Canes strong and long, 

 yellowish green, slightly glaucous, occasionally tinged with 

 purple, covered below with dark brown bristles, which de- 

 crease in quantity upwards : early in the autumn the canes 

 change colour and become entirely brown sooner than those 

 of most others ; bearing wood vigorous and nearly smooth ; 

 leaves large, shghtly rugose, plaited, irregularly serrated, 

 dark green ; clusters large ; fruit large, conical, dull red ; 

 grains middle-sized ; flavour rich and sweet." 



In situations where the plants grow with much vigour, a 

 crop is sometimes produced in the autumn on the shoots of 

 the year ; this is however at all times but a scanty one, and 

 too small to entitle the kind to the name of a double bearing 

 variety."

This fruit is of large size, and of the same form as the red 

 variety. It is in high repute for its excellence and delicate 

 flavour, and merits general cultivation. The canes difier from 

 the preceding, in being of a much lighter colour, and the 

 bristles or spines on the young shoots are of a similar hue.

This variety, which bears a considerable resemblance to the 

 Red Antwerp, is distinguished from it by its canes being much 

 inclined to branch, and the prickles being long, slender, and 

 reddish. It is very productive, and one of the earliest in 

 ripening, but from its not bearing carriage well, it is not culti- 

 ^•^*ed even in Europe for the supply of the markets ; its excel- 

 however, renders it one of the most desirable for family 

 gardens. This superior variety is said to have been raised 

 from seed by a person named Cornwall, at Barnet in Hert- 

 fordshire, England, from which circumstance it has obtained
