Naomi.—Identical with Franconia.
Northumberland Fillbasket.—An old-fashioned English variety, sometimes found in the garden of an amateur.
Pride of the Hudson.—See pages 190, 219.
Pearl, Bristol, Thwack.—Native varieties that resemble the Brandywine, but are not equal to it in most localities. They are passing out of cultivation.
Reliance.—A seedling of the Philadelphia, but judging from one year's test, much superior to it, and worthy of cultivation in those regions where the finer varieties cannot thrive. It is hardy, and will do well on light soils.
Saunders.—See page 220.
Rubus Occidentalis
For descriptions of Davison's Thornless, Doolittle, or American
Improved, Mammoth Cluster, and Gregg, see Chapter XXII.
American Black.—Common black-cap raspberry, found wild throughout the United States. Too well known to need description.
American White-Cap (Yellow-Cap, Golden-Cap).—"Also scattered widely throughout the country, but not common. Those who discover it often imagine that they have found something new and rare. Berries slightly oval, grains larger than those of the black-cap, yellow, with a white bloom. The canes are light yellow, strong, stocky, with but few spines. Propagated from the tips. It might become the parent of very fine varieties." (Fuller.)
