To off- set this list of faults, three meritorious quali- ties may be named: the berries are about all that could be desired—large, handsome, and of very good quality; the plants are very productive where they thrive; the fruit is one of the best for evaporating, a smaller quantity of fresh fruit being required for a pound of dried fruit than of almost any other variety. The original plant was found growing wild on the Gregg farm, Ohio County, Indiana, in 1866. Plants of medium vigor, tender to cold, productive, spreading in growth ; canes rather few, brown, glaucous with a few strong, straight prickles. Leaflets 3-5. dark green above, greenish-gray and pubescent beneath. Flowers 8-14, in short, close, leafy clusters on tips of the branches. Fruit late, large, broadly hemispheri- cal, black with tinge of purple and heavy bloom drupelets large, numerous, round, cohering strongly flesh firm, juicy, rich and highly flavored ; quality good Beeds small.
