Frank Abbott had on exhibition IN
FELTON, on Monday and Tuesday a new
variety Of raspberries, called the Col
umbian. 1t was a large berry, color
dark, but not very good berry for
market The plants were bought of a
northern agent, who claimed it to be a
perpetual bearer, plants to grow as
large as dwarf pear trees, would in
few years require step-ladders to pick
berries from the tops of the plants
This was rather too much of a recon-
mendation to be true, yet Abbott bought
some plants.

ceptiOns.
