THE RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY. 
CGI 
solid; adheres firmly to the stem; keeps long in perfection on 
the plant ; bears carriage well. Promises to be valuable as a 
market variety. Red spines. (Hort.) 
Woodward. 
Raised by Dr. Brinckle. This is one of the smallest varieties, 
though larger than the ordinary wild raspberry. Fruit round, 
sometimes roundish-ovate ; crimson ; red spines ; has ripened 
as early as the 10th of June. (Wilder in Hort.) 
Autumnal Raspberries. 
The ever-bearing foreign varieties have not given general 
satisfaction in this country ; our dry, hot summers seem to be 
unfavourable for a full crop. Cut the canes to the ground in 
the spring, and the young shoots will give a fair crop in the 
autumn, if the season is moist and favourable. They are only 
worthy the attention of amateurs. 
Belle de Fontenay, 
A dwarf-growing variety with large and deep green leaves ; 
bears large fruit all the autumn of good flavour, but requires 
warm soil and exposure. (Hort.) 
Catawissa. 
A native of Columbia Co., Penn. Vigorous and very pro- 
ductive. Fruit medium size, flattened ; dark crimson, covered 
with thick bloom ; flavour sprightly, rather acid, more suited to 
the amateur than for general cultivation. Commences ripening 
about the first of August, and continues in use a long time. 
Double Bearing. 
Perpetual Bearing. Late Liberian. 
A variety of the Antwerp ; formerly esteemed for its habit 
of bearing late in the season ; but is now surpassed by better 
kinds. 
Large Fruited Monthly. 
River’s New Large Monthly. 
Fruit above medium size, roundish- conical ; crimson. Flesh 
soft, sweet, and excellent. Canes moderately strong, upright ; 
spines red, stout, and numerous. 
Merveille de Quatre Saisons. 
Large, bright-red, and is of all the autumnal Raspberries, tne 
most abundant bearer ; its spikes of fruit are often twelve or 
eighteen inches long, and produced till the end of October. (Hort.)
