BLACK-CAP VARIETIES 171 



Fruit very large, firm, good, black, early. The name "Mohler" 

 seems to have been applied to the Eureka at one time, before 

 the introduction of this variety, which occasioned no little con- 

 fusion. Discussed in Bulletin 63 of the Ohio Exp. Station. 



Moody. A white variety mentioned by Samuel Miller, in the 

 Missouri Horticultural Society Report for 1884, p. 295, as very 

 productive, of good flavor, good size, and worth having. 



Moore Seedling. Mentioned in the Report of the Ohio Hor- 

 ticultural Society for 1870, p. 62. 



Hunger. Originated with Timothy Munger in western Ohio, 

 about 1890. Introduced by W. N. Scarff, of New Carlisle, Ohio. 

 Described as a good shipper, black, of good flavor, large size and 

 very productive. 



Mystery. A variety sent out from Kentucky as an everbearing 

 sort. Reported as of little value, bearing no autumn crop in 

 Minnesota. Bull. 25. 



Nemaha. Found growing wild by Ex-Gov. Furnas, of Brown - 

 ville, Neb., along the bluffs of the Missouri River in Nemaha 

 county, of that state. Transferred by him to his garden, and 

 later sent out to be tested by prominent small-fruit growers. 

 Introduced by Green's Nursery Company, about 1883. Very 

 similar to the Gregg, but claimed to be hardier. Vigorous and 

 productive. Fruit large, of good quality, and firm. T. T. Lyon 

 says that it has most of the qualities of the Gregg, with im- 

 proved flavor and hardiness. Popular in southeastern Nebraska. 



New Haven. A chance seedling which came up on the grounds 

 of E. E. Clark, of New Haven, Conn., proving better than any 

 seedlings he had raised. Described by him as large and vigorous. 

 Fruit juicy, five-eighths to three-quarters of an inch in diameter, 

 with small seeds. Report of the Connecticut Board of Agricul- 

 ture 1866: 184.

Ohio (Alden) . The great evaporating raspberry of the pres- 

 ent day, being far more largely planted for that purpose than all 

 others together. The full history of this variety is recorded by 

 Bailey in Bulletin 117 Cornell University Exp. Station, p. 362. 

 Somewhere in the sixties, Hiram Van Dusen, of Palmyra, 

 N. Y., bought a lot of Doolittle plants of A. M. Purdy, of that 

 place. When the plantation began to fail, he found one plant 

 apparently as good as new, which, from previous observation, he
