There were two other hybrid dewberries of

 from which new races of raspberries and black-

Moreover, a list was given of no fewer than 

 thirty-seven named species of Rubus (the gen-

 experiments through which the new varieties 

 have been produced; and the statement was 

 made with reference to the list that "the combi-
