Cuthbert (Conover, Queen of the Market, Quinby's Favorite). 

 Probably the best known of all red raspberries, and the most de- 

 sirable single market sort. It was a chance seedling found by 

 Thomas Cuthbert in his garden at Riverdale, now in New York 

 city; about 1865. It is a strong, vigorous, upright grower, some- 

 times branching; spines short, stout, purplish, rather numerous 

 toward the base, but often wanting toward the tips. Fruit large, 

 dark crimson, obtuse conical, grains rather small and compact. 

 Flesh quite firm, juicy, sprightly, and of fair quality. Its chief 

 defect as a market berry is its color, which is too dark. Mr. Conover, 

 the asparagus man, seeing its value, spread it in his neighborhood, 

 giving it undesignedly the name Conover. In New Jersey it was 

 disseminated by William Parry as Queen of the Market. It is still 

 the leading commercial red raspberry. Ezra Brainerd of Middle- 

 bury, Vt., a careful student of the genus Rubus, is led to think that 

 Cuthbert has an admixture of foreign blood in its make-up. 



Delaware (F). Said to be an American seedling of the Hornet.
