THE ANDEAN RASPBERRY, NATURAL SIZE. 
(Rubus glaucus Benth., S. P. I.No. §2?34.) 
Fruiting branch with green fruits and a single mature berry of the Andean raspberry {Rubus 
glaucus) , which is cultivated in many highland gardens in southern Colombia and Ecuador. 
Its fruit, which is dark maroon colored when ripe, is very juicy, sweet, and of somewhat 
richer flavor than the black raspberry of northern gardens. The species may prove of value 
for cultivation in the Gulf States, and it is being used by plant breeders to cross with other 
raspberries. (Photographed by Wilson Popenoe, Ambato, Ecuador, January, 1921;
