THE RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY. 
Merveille de Quatre Saisons. 
Yellow fruit, a new variety, raised from the above. It bears 
abundantly in the autumn, and its fruit is sweet and well fla- 
voured. (Hort.) 
Ohio, Everbearing. 
Ohio Raspberry. Ken. 
This is a native of Ohio, and was first made known to Eastern 
cultivators by Mr. Longworth, of Cincinnati, though, we believe, 
it had been cultivated for some time previous, at a Quaker settle- 
ment in Ohio. It is precisely like the American Black Rasp- 
berry, or Black-cap, in all respects, except that it has the valua- 
ble property of bearing abundant crops of fine fruit, till late in 
the season. We have seen a quart gathered from a single plant, 
on the 1st day of November. It deserves a place in every large 
garden. 
Victoria. (Roger’s.) 
“ Large dark-red, habit rather dwarf, bears abundantly, and 
very good.” (Riv. Cat.) 
The Blackberry. 
There are several species of the Bramble indigenous to this 
country, which produce eatable fruit, but the best for the table, 
or for cooking, are the Low Blackberry, a trailing shrub, and 
the following varieties of the High Blackberry. 
The fruit is larger than that of the Raspberry, with fewer and 
larger grains, and a brisker flavour. It ripens about the last of 
July, or early in August, after the former is past, and is much 
used by all classes in this country. The sorts are seldom culti- 
vated in gardens, as the fruit is produced in such great abun- 
dance in a wild state ; but there is no doubt that varieties of 
much larger size, and greatly superior flavour, might be pro- 
duced by sowing the seeds in rich garden soil, especially if re- 
peated for two or three successive generations. 
Low Blackberry. 
Trailing Blackberry. Dewberry. 
Rubus Canadensis. Lin. 
A low trailing, prickly shrub, producing large white blossoms 
in May, and very large roundish-oblong black fruit in midsum- 
mer. Leaflets from three to five in number. The fruit, when 
in good soil, and fully exposed to the sun, is high flavoured, 
sweet, and excellent.
