Varieties of Red and Hybrid Raspberries 177 



Amazon (F). Sent out from Edesville, Md., as a new variety, but 

 thought by those who received it to be the Fontenay. 



American Red (Common Red, English Red). Prince states in 

 the Pomological Manual published in 1832, that although this is a 

 native of New York, growing naturally in the Catskill mountains, 

 it is frequently termed English Red. He says the shoots are of a 

 dark red hue and grow very long. The spines on the present year's 

 shoots are purplish in color near the base, but greenish, with brown 

 or purplish barbs or points on the upper part. The fruit is one of 

 the earliest to mature, of medium size, fine flavor and greatly es- 

 teemed. He comments on the fact that this is the only variety 

 grown to any extent for the New York market, and that there were 

 nearly one hundred acres on Long Island devoted to its culture at 

 that time. Evidently this is a forerunner of American Red raspberry 

 culture, but undoubtedly plants from various sources passed under 

 this name. 



Andrews. Thought by J. T. Lovett to be identical with High- 

 land Hardy, while James Smith, of Iowa, is positive that this and 

 the Highland Hardy are only the Kirtland renamed. 



Arnold Orange (Orange King) (F). Originated with Charles 

 Arnold, Paris, Ont. Fruit large, dark orange color, unsurpassed for 

 flavor. Said to be a yellow-cap crossed with Rubus Idceus. 



Arnold Red (F). Origin same as the previous; the best known of 

 Mr. Arnold's seedlings. Said to bear a good crop both in July and 

 in September. Also said to be a cross between the yellow-cap, 

 Rubus occidentalis, and Rubus Idceus. 



Arnold Yellow (Yellow Canada) (F). Of the same origin and 

 parentage as the two preceding. Fruit nearly white; plant of a 

 peculiar albino appearance. 



Babcock (H). Sent to the Geneva (N. Y.) Experiment Station in 

 1892, by Daniel W. Babcock. Canes purplish, thickly beset with 

 weak prickles. 



Bagley Perpetual (Bagley's Everbearing). Originated about 

 1854, at New Haven, Conn. Introduced in 1858 by A. Bridgeman, 

 a florist of New York. 



Baker (F). A seedling of Merveille des Quatre Saisons. Raised
