European raspberry. 



From Maidstone, England. Plants presented by George Bunyard & Co., 

 Royal Nurseries. Received February 5, 1921. 



52490. Park Lane. This is undoubtedly one of the sweetest fruits 

 grown; it is fairly large, roundish, and well flavored; the clusters 

 are moderately large. The fruit is too tender for market use but is 

 unrivaled for garden culture. The stout vigorous canes, often reaching 

 a height of 6 feet, are covered with slender, almost soft bristles. 

 The leaves are large and broad with overlapping flat leaflets which 

 are held out horizontally. This variety was grown by Mr. Pyne, of 

 Topsham, Devon, and introduced in 1912. (Adapted from Journal of 

 Pomology, vol. 1, p. 243.) 



52491. Pyne' 8 Royal. This raspberry has fully satisfied the hopes that 

 it evoked in 1913 when it was introduced and is now the largest of 

 all varieties grown. Its size, however, has not detracted from its 

 cropping powers, and it will, we imagine, be grown largely for market 

 when it becomes more plentiful. The rich-red firm fruits, often 4 

 inches in circumference, are rather conical, of moderate sweetness, 

 and often occur in clusters of twenty. The stout canes bear scattered 

 dark thorns and large, rugose, down-curved leaves. This variety was 

 grown by Mr. Pyne, of Topsham, Devon, in 1907, and introduced in 

 1913. (Adapted from Journal of Pomology, vol. 1, p. 243.)
