Rosedale, Kan. Plants moderately vigorous, usually rather hardy, 
moderately productive. Fruit above medium to very large, nearly 
firm, grains medium size, attractive black color, sweet, good in flavor

Kansas.— (A. H. Griesa, Lawrence, Kan.) A chance seedling 
originated by Mr. Griesa in 1884. Plants moderately vigorous, 
winter injury varied from 5 to 25 per ct. during the past five 
years, productive. Berries variable in size, medium to very 
large, good black color, grains medium size, sometimes inclined 
to crumble, rather seedy, moderately juicy, firm, mild, good flavor 
and quality. Has been tested for a number of years at this Station 
but has not made as good a record as some of the other black 
raspberries. 
Lawrence.—(A. H. Griesa, Lawrence, Kan.) Originated by
