. Guide to hardy fruits and ornamentals . Fruit-culture. DWYEE'S GUIDE. 65 Golden Queen Raspberry. Yellow variety—The Queen Is larger than Brinckle's Orange, firmer, of a much better color;' the canes are larger, more pro- ductive, and the best ot all, they are hardy; the lack of hardiness having made Brinckle's Orange an unpopular fruit. No first- class home fruit garden is complete without a good bed of it. It is, without doubt, one of the best flavored fruits we have ever tasted, and this voices the opinion of many who have test- ed the berry on our grounds. We have fruited it for many year
