THE RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY. 
flavour. Shoots very vigorous, long, upright, and branching , 
grows from six to ten feet high. Light shining brown, with 
purplish spines. Leaves narrow, light-green. 
American Black. 
Common Black-Cap. Black Raspberry. 
Thimble-Berry. Rubus Occidentalis. 
This raspberry, common in almost every field, with long, ram- 
bling, purple shoots, and flattened, small black berries, is every- 
where known. It is frequently cultivated in gardens, where, if 
kept well pruned, its fruit is much larger and finer. Its rich, 
acid flavour renders it, perhaps, the finest sort for kitchen use 
— tarts, puddings, &c. It ripens later than other raspberries. 
The American White resembles the foregoing in all respects, 
except in the colour of its fruit, which is pale-yellow or white.
