late. Great quantities of vigorous young canes are produced each season. 
Raised by Mr. Geo. Pyne. 
1 8. Semper Fidelis (Paul). — A fairly vigorous grower of rather straggling 
habit, canes 3 to 4 feet high, moderately good cropper, inclined to be late ; berries 
of medium size, bright red, almost round, good flavour. Plentiful supply of 
young canes produced each year. 
41. Lloyd George (Kettle), C. — A vigorous and free grower, canes about 
5 feet high, a very heavy cropper ; berries are large, deep red, conical and firm, 
of good flavour. Produces a plentiful supply of strong young canes each season . 
This variety crops very well when treated as an Autumn fruiting variety ; said 
to have been found growing in a hedgerow. 
15. Carter's Prolific (Paul). — Of moderate vigour, canes about 3 feet 
high, the leaves very small and the canes covered with numerous small 
spines giving it the appearance of a yellow-fruited variety ; it is a good cropper, 
the berries being medium sized, deep red and nearly round, firm and of good 
flavour. Young canes are sparsely produced, and are rather weakly. 
24. Thimble or Wickham Raspberry (Cousens). — A vigorous grower, 
canes 5 feet 6 inches high, a heavy cropper, berries being of medium size, bright 
red, bluntly conical, of good flavour, rather soft. Produces a plentiful supply 
of vigorous young canes each season. In Hampshire this variety has a great 
local reputation. 
38. Black Antwerp ? ( ). — Moderately vigorous, canes 3 to 4 feet 
high. A good cropper, berries being medium sized, very deep crimson, 
nearly round, of fair flavour ; the leaflets are noticeably narrow and down- 
curved. Produces numerous, fairly vigorous young canes each season. It is 
doubtful if this is the same as the original Black Antwerp. 
Yellow Fruited Varieties. 
43. Amber Queen (Harraway). — Fairly vigorous, sturdy canes about 4 feet 
high, numerous strong canes produced each year ; a fairly good cropper ; berries 
deep yellow, firm, conical, and of good flavour. 
29. Trinder's Golden Hornet (Trinder), A.M. — A vigorous grower, canes 
about 5 feet high, crops very heavily ; the berries are large, deep yellow, ovate 
or bluntly conical, and of good flavour. Great quantities of young canes are 
produced each season. One of the best yellow-fruited varieties. Raised by 
G. Trinder. 
30, 31. Queen of England (Cousens, Allgrove). — A rather weak grower, 
canes barely 3 feet high, a fair cropper ; berries of medium size, pale yellow and 
nearly round, of good flavour. Raised by Messrs. J. Veitch. 
32. The Guinea (Cousens). — Sturdy, dwarf, canes about 2 feet 6 inches 
high; a good cropper; berries pale yellow, nearly round. Few young canes 
produced. 
25, 26. Yellow Antwerp (Paul, Cousens). — Sturdy and moderately vigorous 
grower, canes about 3 feet high ; a heavy cropper, berries being of medium size 
borne in large clusters, a pale yellow and nearly round, fair flavour. Young 
canes are produced each season very freely. 
27, 28. Golden Drop (Bunyard, Cousens). — A fairly vigorous grower, with 
often much-branched canes which are about 3 feet high ; good cropper ; berries of 
medium size, very pale yellow and nearly round, of good flavour. Young canes 
produced very freely each year. 
II. Autumn-fruiting Varieties. 
Autumn-fruiting varieties appear to be almost unknown in many 
gardens, and yet their cultivation is of the easiest, and there is no 
more grateful fruit in October (and often November) than these. 
|The cultivation is similar to that of the Summer-fruiting varieties, 
except that all the canes are cut down in early February, the fruits 
being borne on canes of the current year. 
Fourteen stocks representing the varieties of this type were re- 
ceived for trial during the winter of 1916-17, the canes being heeled 
in pending the planting in permanent quarters in February 1917.
