Plants vigorous, upright, few suckers, hardy, very productive, healthy; canes stocky, nearly smooth, roundish, often with considerable bloom ; spines straight, short, few in number and distributed almost entirely near the base. Fruit matures very early, keeps and ships well, adheres well to the bushes, easily picked; berries very large, and holding their size unusually well until the close of the fruiting season, firm, with large drupelets, bright, handsome red resembling Loudon, mild subacid; quality very good. KING. R. strigosus. In the Northeast, King, although hardy, is not so satisfactory as other standard sorts, but in West Virginia and westward through the Central West it is considered one of the best early red rasp- berries. King is one of the standard sorts in Minnesota. It is most productive on clay loams. King was grown from seed by T. Thompson, Richmond, Virginia, and was in- troduced in 1892. Plants tall, vigorous, upright-spreading, productive, hardy; suckers numerous. Leaflets rather small, some- what lanceolate, more or less pubescent on both sur- faces. Flower-cluster long, loose, leafy, with 8-12 Howers. Fruit early, of medium size, light red ; re- ceptacle small, releasing the berry easily ; drupelets rather small, cohering poorly, the berries crumbling rather badly ; flesh soft, tender, with rather insipid flavor; quality rather poor; seeds of medium size.
