Raspberries
are of three colors—red, black and yellow. Of the red,
Cuthbert, Hansell and Hudson River Antwerp are the favorites.
Of the black varieties, the Gregg is of the largest size,
an enormous producer, of excellent flavor, and should,
perhaps, be grown to the exclusion of all others of the
"black caps." A yellow variety, known as "Caroline,"
is of rich orange color, entirely hardy and of excellent
flavor. Another yellow kind, known as "Brinkle's
Orange," is of the most delicious flavor, but it
is not hardy unless in well sheltered spots.

The
Hansell Raspberry |

It is somewhat curious, when the true reason is not known, that
this variety is more hardy in Canada than in the United States,
the reason being that it is protected by the deep and long continued
snow through the colder Canadian winter. Cultivated varieties
of raspberries, like blackberries, are so much superior to the
wild kinds, that it will be found, wherever raspberries are
wanted, their culture will well repay the trouble. About the
same quantity of raspberries are usually in demand as of blackberries.
A new variety of red raspberry, called "Hansell,"
promises to become one of the best standard varieties. |
