THE KANSAS. A now raspberry from the west, giving promise of great value 
The Kansas from its 
first growth, when only 
a few inches high, pre- 
sented such an appear- 
ance of health and 
growth that it was 
saved; other seedlings 
m adjoining rows drop- 
ped their leaves more 
than any kind in culti- 
vation, and, therefore, 
were cut out in summer 
and spring. O f the 
many left of the seed- 
lings some give evi- 
dence of value. 
One feature of the 
Kansas I never saw in 
any other— the early 
tips will grow from the 
bud (that in otherkinds 
remains dormant) and/ 
grow 2 to 4 feet the same 
fall, and stand uninjur- 
ed the next winter. 
'I he later tips will grow 
above ground and make 
a bunch of leaves like a 
strawberry plant, and 
then force a surprising 
gro wth the next season, 
while some buds remain 
dormant; they have
