Rupp is supposed to have originated with Solomon Rupp, York County, Pennsylvania. 

 It was sent to several Experiment Stations for testing by the United States Department 

 of Agriculture. As grown at the Michigan and Geneva Stations it cannot be distinguished 

 from Reine Hortense and we are inclined to believe that the old variety has been over- 

 shadowed by a new name.
