been members of the horticultural staff at the Geneva, 

 New York, Experiment Station, Saunders and others in 

 Ontario, Hansen in South Dakota and the writer in Rhode 

 Island. From all this work a few, but very few, varieties 

 have been introduced. Many had good qualities, but few 

 were of sufficient merit to replace those already in cultiva- 

 tion. Pomological progress among the brambles has not 

 been rapid. 



In the following list of varieties those known to belong 

 to the hybrid or Purple-cane class are followed by the 

 letter (H) to indicate their origin. Similarly, those known 

 to be of foreign parentage or Rubus Idceus, are designated 

 by the letter (F). Many of those about which little is 

 known also doubtless belong here. 



Varieties of Red and Hybrid Raspberries 



Addison (H). Originated on the grounds of L. M. Macomber, 

 of North Ferrisburgh, Vt. Canes rooting at the tips, though 

 rather like the reds in color. Fruit with the flavor of the red 

 raspberry. 



Allen. See False Red Antwerp. 



Allen Red Prolific. Same origin as the Allen. Perhaps also in- 

 cluded under the False Red Antwerp. 



All Summer (F). Introduced by John Lewis Childs, of Floral 

 Park, N. Y., as having been purchased from Mrs. A. A. Stowe. Said 

 to have come from Mexico, by way of California. Recommended 

 for its ability to endure extreme heat. 



Alpine (F). Imported from the Mediterranean with Cretan Red 

 and Flesh-colored by William R. Prince, who believed them to be 

 closely related. 



Alton. Introduced by The Gilbertson Nursery Company of Iowa. 

 Said to be hardy, productive, of high quality, with a long fruiting 

 season.
