Varieties of Red and Hybrid Raspberries 185 



Four-Seasons Red (Merveille de Quatre Saisons, October Red) 

 (F) . A French variety with a well-developed autumn-bearing habit. 

 Thought by many American cultivators to be the same as Fontenay. 

 The variety imported from Germany by the German Nursery Com- 

 pany of Beatrice, Neb., under the name of Merveille is probably the 

 same. 



Four-Seasons Yellow (White Four-Seasons, October Yellow) (F). 

 Imported from France in 1863 by Charles Arnold, of Paris, Ont. 

 Said to be a seedling of the preceding, and similar to it. 



Franconia (Abel, Naomi [?]) (F). Received from Messrs. Vil- 

 morin, of Paris, many years ago by Samuel G. Perkins. Said to 

 have been little known in European catalogues except as returned 

 from this country. It was one of the comparatively well-known 

 foreign varieties on this side of the water. 



French (R. M. Conklin's). Mentioned by William Parry, in 

 1869, as declining in favor. 



French (Vice-President French) (F). Raised by Dr. Brinckle 1 , 

 from Fastolf crossed with Yellow Antwerp, and named in honor 

 of B. U. French, vice-president of the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society. 



French Everbearing (F). Said to have been imported from France 

 by California nurserymen. 



Fulton (F). A seedling of the French raised by Dr. Brinckle. 

 Named in honor of James D. Fulton, of Pennsylvania. 



Ganargua (H). Found growing wild by Stephen Katkamier, of 

 Farmington, Ontario county, N. Y., about 1867. Described as 

 vigorous, hardy, and productive, possessing the everbearing habit. 

 Fruit dark red, approaching purplish brown. Propagates from 

 tips. 



Garden (Doolittle's Red Flavored Black-Cap) (H). A variety in- 

 troduced by H. H. Doolittle, of Oaks Corners, N. Y. The Purple- 

 cane raspberry was also known under this name. Whether this 

 is the same, or whether, indeed, it might have been a true black- 

 cap, it is difficult to say. 



Gardiner (H). Mentioned as a new variety of unknown origin, 

 intermediate between the Purple-cane and the black-cap. 



Garnet (H). A seedling of the Philadelphia, produced in 1885 by
