184 Bush-Fruits 



Kirtland). In 1828, or thereabouts, an English gardener brought 

 to Cleveland, Ohio, a variety without name. It proved hardy, pro- 

 ductive, valuable. The Red Antwerp was then the standard variety, 

 and this sort was called by that name. Later, when the true Red 

 Antwerp came to be known, this one took the prefix "False," and 

 came to be a popular market sort, under the name of False Red 

 Antwerp. Still later, three varieties came to be distributed as this, 

 two of them probably having originated as seedlings in the original 

 plantation. Later F. R. Elliott sent to an occupant of lands of 

 Lewis F. Allen, plants gathered indiscriminately from a plantation 

 of the False Red Antwerp raspberry. In time it was found that the 

 Allen raspberry embraced all the varieties enumerated under the 

 name False Red Antwerp. Professor I. P. Kirtland at one time gave 

 plants of the False Red Antwerp, Fastolf, and Franconia raspberries 

 to Mrs. Follet, of Sanduskjr, the former being hardy and the latter 

 tender. After a time the tender sorts died out, while the hardy one 

 attracted the attention of H. B. Lum, of Sandusky, who, without 

 knowledge of its character, but knowing that it came from the 

 garden of Professor Kirtland, named and sent it out as a seedling of 

 the Professor's, and under his name. 



The botanical relationship of the Allen raspberry is a matter 

 of dispute. Thomas Meehan believed that it belonged to the type 

 of Rubus Idceus, while A. S. Fuller thought there could be no ques- 

 tion about its being a true R. strigosus. It is quite evident that more 

 than one variety must have been known under this name. 



Fastolf (Filby) (F). One of the best English varieties, said to 

 have originated near the ruins of an old castle of that name in Great 

 Yarmouth. First advertised by Yuell & Co.. 1843. Figured, 

 Hovey's Mag. 1846: 299. Crozier cites a reference indicating an 

 earlier origin. 



Flesh-colored (Frambosier Couleur de Chair) (F). Said to have 

 been obtained by William R. Prince from the Mediterranean with 

 the Cretan Red, which it resembles. 



Fontenay (Belle de Fontenay, Belle d'Orleans, Amazon) (F). A 

 French variety with stocky, vigorous, somewhat branching canes, 

 suckering freely, especially when young. One of the hardiest and 

 most reliable European varieties. Crozier spells this name Fontenoy.
