Hoag (Harkness) . According to A. W. Sias, formerly of 

 Minnesota, this originated with Charles R. Hoag, at Kasson, 

 Dodge county, Minnesota. Later it was disseminated by J. W. 

 Harkness. Wyman Elliot, one of the earliest presidents of the 

 Minnesota Horticultural Society, says that at one time it was 

 named Harkness by their society, but the name of the originator 

 was preferred. Said to resemble Gregg, but to have been more 

 hardy in Minnesota. 



Hopkins. Found wild in the woods, within the present limits 

 of Kansas City, Mo., in the year 1872. Later brought to notice by 

 G. W. Hopkins, of Springfield, Mo., and introduced by Frank 

 Holsinger, of Eosedale, Kans. Described as similar to Tyler, and 

 ripening with it. Fruit medium to large, round, black, with little 

 bloom ; texture soft, flavor mild. A good shipper. Considered a 

 valuable variety in the region where it originated. 



Idaho. Mentioned by Crozier,* as possibly a variety of Eubus 

 leucodermis, though he says nothing regarding its color. Said to 

 have come from the mountains near Lewiston, Idaho. It was sent 

 out for trial by F. B. Palmer, of Mansfield, Ohio, but did not 

 prove valuable. 



Ideal. A seedling found near the Gregg plantation, in 1890, by 

 C. P. Augur, of Connecticut, who described it as nearly as good as 

 the Sougehan, and larger and better in every way than the Gregg. 

 The Eural New-Yorker, 1893: 430. 



Indiana. A black-cap from Indiana, introduced in 1884. De- 

 scribed as vigorous, hardy, and productive. Fruit of good size and 

 quality, very firm. 



Ironclad (Smith's Ironclad). A note taken without mention- 

 ing the reference says that this originated with Mr. Wilson, of 

 Forest, Ohio, about 1885. Said to be very vigorous, productive, 

 and healthy. Earlier than Tyler, of good quality. Under the 

 name "Smith's Ironclad," Crozier records a variety,t brought to 

 notice in Kansas by a man named Smith, some years ago, he hav- 

 ing found a single raspberry plant among a bill of trees ordered 

 from an agent. This was probably some old variety, but still 

 seems to be known in Kansas under the names mentioned. 



Kagy Everbearing. Mentioned in the Ohio Experiment Sta- 

 tion Eeport for 1886, p. 190, as apparently of no value. 



Kansas. Originated as a chance seedling on the farm of A. 

 H. Griesa, Lawrence, Kans., in 1884. Although he had grow- 

 ing, at the same time, several hundred other seedlings from 

 selected stock, this proved more valuable than any of the others.
