188 Bush-Fruits 



gives an interesting account of the rise and fall of this variety in 

 the Hudson River Valley. 



Hudson River Red. Exhibited before the Cincinnati Horticul- 

 tural Society in 1860 by F. W. Slack, of Kentucky, who was then 

 growing it for the Cincinnati market. 



Huntsman Giant (F). A seedling of the Franconia raised by F. W. 

 Huntsman, of Flushing, N. Y., who grew many seedlings, hoping to 

 gain a hardy variety equal to the more tender kinds. 



Hybrid Crimson Mammoth (H). Found wild at Adams, N. Y., by 

 Dr. E. R. Maxson, who brought it into cultivation. 



Idaho. Found growing in an old garden in Idaho. Plant stocky, 

 branching, not very tall, producing less suckers than most varieties; 

 very hardy. Fruit large, shaped like a black-cap, deep rich red, 

 ripening from July to October, producing more in autumn than 

 most so-called everbearing sorts. 



Imperial (F). A large French variety introduced by Aubrey & 

 Souchet, of Carpenter's Landing, N. J. 



Imperial Red (Red Imperial). A variety grown in New Jersey. 



Imperial White (F). Catalogued by Ellwanger & Barry, in 1860. 



Iowa (Eaton). Found in Iowa. Named and introduced by M. J. 

 Wragg. Rather dwarf, canes strong, thornless, leaf dark and heavy. 

 Early, productive, large, rich dark red, of excellent quality but tends 

 to crumble. Fruit sometimes attacked by mildew when ripe. More 

 generally catalogued under the name of Eaton. 



7. X. L. A chance seedling discovered by Charles Schlessler, 

 of Naperville, 111., in 1887. 



Johnson. Received from Cincinnati by E. Y. Teas, of Indiana, 

 in 1875, and reported to be much like the Philadelphia. 



June. This variety is the result of a cross between Loudon and 

 Marlboro, in 1897, on the grounds of the Geneva, N. Y., Experiment 

 Station, and disseminated from there in 1909. Described as more 

 vigorous than either of its parents and equally hardy. Plant up- 

 right, healthy and very productive, producing but few suckers. 

 Begins ripening the last of June at Geneva and continues through 

 a long season. Fruit bright red, larger than Cuthbert but less 

 conical, holding its size unusually well till the end of the season, 

 firm, keeping and shipping well, quality excellent.
