194 BUSH-FBUITS 



Golden Queen. — This was found on the grounds of Ezra Stokes, 

 of Camden, N. J., about 1883, in a twelve-acre patch of Cuthbert. 

 In fact, to all intents and purposes, it is a Cuthbert with yellow 

 fruit. Sports in color from this variety are not uncommon. In- 

 stances are recorded where part of the berries on a shoot have 

 been yellow and part red, and even the individual fruits have 

 been variegated. The variety is one of the most satisfactory 

 yellow-fruited sorts, possessing much the same qualities as its 

 parent, the Cuthbert. While light colored varieties are not in de- 

 mand for market, a few plants for home use are always desirable. 



Uansell. — A chance seedling found on the farm of Hansell 

 Bros,, near Beverly, N.' J., about 1875. Introduced by J. T. 

 Lovett in 1882. Moderately vigorous, suckering freely, with dark, 

 reddish green, hairy shoots. Leaves finely wrinkled. Fruit of 

 medium size, dark red, with slight bloom, rather soft, subacid, 

 pleasant, not rich. Obtained considerable prominence at one 

 time as an early variety. Said to be difficult to transplant and to 

 propagate from root cuttings. 



Harris. — Sent out by Z. H. Harris, of Rochester, N. Y., in 

 1889. Plant fairly vigorous, but of dwarf habit, standing well 

 without pinching. Fruit large, bright, firm, and of good flavor. 

 Not quite hardy. 



Highland Hardy (Highland Antwerp). — A sport or chance seed- 

 ling which originated near Highland village, on the Hudson, about 

 1870. Very early, but fruit medium to small, red, of poor flavor. 

 Said to be very susceptible to injury from summer heat. 



Hudson River Bed. — A native red variety. Exhibited before the 

 Cincinnati Horticultural Society in 1860 by F. W. Slack, of 

 Kentucky, who was at that time growing it for the Cincinnati 

 market.— Mich. Exp. Sta. Bull. Ill: 284. 



Ir)iperial Red (Red Imperial). — A variety grown in New Jer- 

 sey, where it proved hardy. Fruit medium, roundish, scarlet, 

 half firm, juicy, pleasant. Found to succeed better in the South 

 than most varieties. 



I. X. L. — A chance seedling discovered by Charles Schlessler, 

 of Naperville, 111., in 1887. Said to be vigorous; canes purplish. 

 Fruit light, dull red, of medium size, crumbling, nearly sweet, of 

 good flavor. 



Kenyon. — Introduced by O. A. Kenyon, of McGregor, la., who 

 found it growing among black raspberries about 1885. Bush of 

 medium size, quite vigorous and fairly productive. Fruit quite 

 large, firm, but crumbling a little, deep dark red, with fair flavor. 

 Clings tightly to the receptacle. 



Loudon. — Originated by Frank W. Loudon, of Janesville, Wis.,
