117 



Koch. I. .V. Y. Sta. Bid. 278:117. 1906. 



An unnamed seedling grown by C. H. Kocli, Middlehope, Xew York, which was 

 received for trial at this Station in 1896. Inferior to other varieties. Plants of moderate 

 \-igor and tender to cold; fruit medium in size, firm, crumbh'; good. 



Kreigh. i. Gard. Moii. 22:276. 18S0. 



A sample of this varietj-, a new seedling, was sent to the editor of Gardener's Monthly 

 in 1880. Plants described as hardy, productive; fruit of fair size, fin-n and of excellent 

 quality. 



La France. 1. Armstrong Cat. 22, fig. 1922. 2. Lovett Cat. 8, fig. 1923. 



On the grounds of this Station, La France is so similar in plant and fruit to Erskinu 

 Park that a separate description is not necessary. The plants grown here were secured 

 from the introducer, as they have been from several other sources, and have been observed 

 in several different localities, so that without question it can be said that in no essential 

 characters does the La France differ from Erskine Park. There is hesitancy, however, in 

 saying that the variety is Erskine Park renamed when there is a definite statement of another 

 origin. La France is said to have originated as a seedling of a French beny. It was 

 discovered by A. Alius, Stamford, Connecticut, about 1912. The variety was introduced 

 in 1920 by John Scheepers, New York City. 



Lady Anne. i. Mich. Sta. Bui 111:37. 1894. 



^Mentioned as on trial at the experimental farm at Agassiz, British Columbia. 

 Originated by Dr. William Saunders, London, Ontario. 



Large Fruited Monthly, i. Gard. Chron. 687. 1847. 2. Barry Fr. Gard. 344. 1851. 



Rivers' Kevu Monthly. 3. Gard. Mon. 2:333. i860. 



Thomas Rivers imported this variety into England from the continent about 1847. 

 It was brought to this country a few years later but never became of any importance. 

 Plants moderately vigorous, upright, not hardy, fairly productive; suckers profusely; 

 fruit large, roundish conic, red, soft, sweet; excellent; autumn-fruiting. 



Large White, i. Mag. Hort. 3:23. 1837. 



Grosse Blanche. 2. Bunyard-Thomas Fr. Gard. 165. 1904. 



First mentioned in 1 83 7 as a desirable variety. Bunyard describes it as a free grower, 

 continuing a long time in bearing. The fruit is amber colored. 



Latham, i. Am. Pcnn. Soc. Rpt. 161. 1920. 



Minnesota No. 4. 2. la. Hort. Soc. Rpt. 276. 1915. 



Redpath. 3. Am. Pom. Soc. Rpt. 285. 1921. 



Latham is among the most notable red raspberries recently introduced. The plants 

 are conspicuous for their hardiness and healthiness, although they contract the dreaded 

 mosaic disease rather rapidly, and are often much injured by powdery mildew. Because 

 of the great vigor of the plant, however, the injury from mosaic is rather less than with the 

 average red raspberry. The berries are ver\' large, bright red, glossy, and hold up in size 

 well. Unfortunately, they are rather inferior in flavor, crumble a little more than one 

 likes, and there are often a considerable number of double berries. The large size, however.
