Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Plants, Etc. 31. BLACK CAPS. Carman—Resembles the Souhegan in growth ; vigorous, healthy and hardy ; productive, jet black and firm ; very early. Earhart—Strong, stocky grower, with an abundance of stout, heavy spines; very hardy, fruit of large size, jet black and of good quality, commencing to ripen early and v continues till stopped by freezing in the Autumn. Gregg—This is decidedly the largest Black Cap that we have ever seen, far surpassing in size the famous Mammoth Cluster, averaging, when grown side by side, with the same treatment, from one-third to one-half larger. ^Johnston's Sweet—This is the sweetest Raspberry grown. It takes less sugar either for the table or for canning or evaporating, than any other sort. The flavor is deli- eious. It is a great bearer ; nearly equal in size to Gregg. v Mammoth Cluster (McCormick)—The bush is a strong, upright grower ; foliage a rich, dark green ; fruit large, and holds out large to the very last picking ; black, with a rich purplish bloom ; very juicy, high flavored and delicious ; perfectly hardy, the surface sufficiently firm to bear transportation to distant markets. v Ohio—The greatest producer among Black Caps, and for canning or evaporating claimed to be the most profitable of all sorts. Berry not quite as large as Gregg, but finer quality and the plants more hardy and will bear more successive crops. ' Hilborn—A large Black Cap, recommended for its size and quality. Ripens early. VSouhegan—A variety of the most positive value, of excellent quality, about as lar^e as as the Gregg, and astonishingly prolific, exceeding in this respect any Raspberry known. A perfect ironclad in hardiness
