There can be no longer any question as to
the merit of this raspberry. We have now
tested it for three years, and pronounce it to
be q real desideratum. 1t bears two crops
OF fruit 10 season bat as many persons
have other kinds which are better bearers at
the time OF ripening Of the first crop, they
combine the energies Of the cane upon the
second crop which ripens late 10 the autumn ;
indeed continues to rpen from September to
the first OF November, should the weather
not become too severe. At this writing

and perfect fruit as highly favored as they
would be 10 July. Yesterday, October 81 J

of fine fruit was taken; and the same quan

canes, after ceasing ID bear 10 the fall, close
to the ground. They will give strength to
the new canes the ensuing season which sup
plies the late crop, The early crop is taken
from the wood allowed TO remain over winter
Those who prefer the two crops, must, about
the middle OF this month, prune the vines

| carefully down TO the ground and cover them
| with from three TO six inches Of earth, shaped
TO point on the top. When this years wood

two of soil, banked up in the same way -
We have found this better than any other
protection against frost.
The way to propagate this raspberry, is to
take up the roots, say the latter end OF Jan
