 Massachusetts, propagating by tips. Fruit similar to Philadelphia. 



Nottingham Scarlet (F). An old English variety, introduced be- 

 fore 1850 by Marshall P. Wilder. 



Ohta. A variety selected by Professor Hansen of South Dakota 

 from a lot of 6000 hybrid seedling raspberries. It is the result of 

 crossing a wild red raspberry from North Dakota with Minnetonka. 

 It is described as hardy and very productive, with beautiful red 

 fruit, which is fairly firm and of good quality. Introduced as a 

 variety adapted to the rigorous climate of the Dakotas. Ohta is the 

 Sioux Indian name for much or many. 



Olathe (Stayman's No. 5). Originated by J. Stayman, of Leaven- 

 worth, Kans., from seed of Reliance. 



Orange (Brinckle's Orange) (F). This noted variety originated 

 with Dr. W. D. Brinckle, of Philadelphia, in 1845. It long repre- 

 sented the ideal quality to be sought in the raspberry. Roe speaks 

 of it as a hybrid between Rubus Ido3us and our native species. It 

 was raised from seed of Dyack Seedling, an English variety of deep 

 crimson color, but what the staminate parent was does not now ap- 

 pear. According to Dr. Brinckle, it reproduced itself generally from 

 seed. It is described as essentially an Antwerp, but more vigorous. 

 Fruit of a beautiful buff color, and delicious flavor. It did not thrive 

 under hot suns or upon light land, succeeding south of New York
